    Arranging care,step by step

    No assessment fee, no obligation, and a straight answer about timescales at every stage.

    1. Get in touch

      One call or message. Tell us what's happening, we'll listen first and explain the options in plain English, with no obligation.

    2. Free assessment

      We visit at a time that suits you, meet everyone involved and assess needs, risks and what a good day actually looks like for you.

    3. Your care plan

      You get a written, person-centred plan and carers matched to you: for skills, for training, and for whether you'll get on with them.

    4. Review and adjust

      Needs change. We review regularly, respond quickly when things shift, and you keep the same point of contact throughout.

    The thingsfamilies ask first

    Can't see your question? Call us and ask. There's no wrong way to start.

    It depends on the package. Straightforward visiting care can often begin within a few days of the assessment; complex or clinically-led packages take longer because carers need person-specific training and sign-off first. When someone is waiting to leave hospital we work to the discharge team's timescale: tell us the date and we'll be straight with you about whether we can meet it.
