Home Care in Croydon: A Family's Guide to Arranging Support at Home

What is home care?

Home care (also called domiciliary care) is support in your own home, shaped around what you need. It can be a single visit a day to help with washing and medication, several visits a day, or full live-in care.

The aim is simple: to help you or your loved one stay safe, comfortable and independent at home, rather than move into a care home.

The home care we provide in Croydon

Our trained, DBS-checked carers provide personal care, dementia and Alzheimer's support, respite for family carers, companionship, help around the home, and reablement after a hospital stay. Where it's needed, our nurse-led team also provides complex clinical care at home.

Areas we cover around Croydon

Croydon is our home town. We support families from West, East and South Croydon out to Addiscombe, Shirley and Selsdon, and across the border into Bromley and Beckenham.

Coming home from hospital?

A hospital discharge can come quickly. Our hospital-to-home and reablement support helps someone settle back in safely (with help to regain confidence and routine), and we can often start within a few days.

How to arrange home care in Croydon

It's four simple steps. First, get in touch for a friendly chat. We then visit you at home (free, with no obligation) to understand what would help. Together we agree a care plan, and finally we introduce the carers matched to you, often within days.

How home care is paid for

Private home care with us starts from £26 an hour. Depending on your circumstances there may be help with the cost: Croydon Council may contribute if you're eligible, the NHS funds care through Continuing Healthcare in some cases, and Attendance Allowance is a benefit many older people can claim.

Why choose a CQC-registered provider

All home care agencies in England must be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We're registered, inspected and rated “Good”, and our registered manager is a registered nurse, so you can check our record independently before you decide.
