We’re a family-run home care provider based right here in Hitchin, at our office on Bury Mead Road. We support people in Hitchin and the surrounding area to stay happy and independent in their own homes, with care planned around you and your family.
We start by getting to know you. We sit down with you and your family, listen to what matters to you, and write your care plan together. As your needs change, we change the plan.
Day to day, your carer might help you get washed and dressed, prepare meals and drinks, take your medication, or keep on top of the housework and laundry. Some people simply want company, or someone to go with them into Hitchin town centre, to appointments or to see friends.
Some people in Hitchin need a quick visit each morning; others need longer visits or someone with them overnight. Alongside everyday home care, we provide dementia care, Parkinson’s care and end-of-life care, plus specialised care, respite care for family carers and companionship. You’ll find the full list on our services page.
Our carers visit homes across Hitchin itself, from Walsworth and Purwell to Westmill and Oughton, and in the nearby villages of Ickleford, Offley, St Ippolyts and Gosmore. We also support people in the rural villages of Codicote, Whitwell and Breachwood Green. If you’re not sure whether we reach you, call 01462 338343 and we’ll tell you straight away.
Because our office is in the town, our coordinators know Hitchin well. We’re in regular contact with the GP surgeries in and around Hitchin, so your care fits with the rest of your health support. Visits are usually 30 minutes or longer, so there’s time to do things properly.
“The carers are always diligent, cheerful, willing and respectful of my dignity. I am always very pleased to see them.”
