Home Care Services in Bradwell

Every care plan we provide is built entirely around the individual - their specific needs, their daily routines, and their personal preferences. No standard packages. No one-size-fits-all approach.

Domiciliary Home Care Our most popular service. A professional carer visits your loved one at home - for 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or a full hour - providing support with personal care, medication, meal preparation, light housework, shopping, and companionship. Visits can be arranged once a day, multiple times daily, or several times a week. Care starts from £22.00 per visit on weekdays.

Live-in Care A dedicated carer lives with your loved one in their own Bradwell home, providing round-the-clock support and companionship. For those with more significant needs, live-in care makes it possible to remain at home rather than moving to a care facility. Weekly rates start from £1,325 - often comparable in cost to a residential care home, with the very significant advantage of one-to-one dedicated support in familiar surroundings.

Respite Care Temporary care for any duration, arranged quickly. Whether you are a family carer who needs a break, or your loved one needs additional support following a hospital discharge or illness, we can step in for as long as required.

Night Care Sleep-in support and waking night care for those who need overnight assistance, monitoring, or reassurance. Our night carers provide real peace of mind for both clients and their families.

Companionship Care Regular visits focused on social contact, conversation, and gentle outings - a trip to a local cafe, a visit to a garden centre, or simply a friendly face and a cup of tea at home. For people living alone, consistent companionship makes a profound difference to wellbeing and quality of life.

Complex and Specialist Care We support people living with dementia and Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, diabetes, arthritis, and palliative and end of life care. Our carers are trained to provide skilled, sensitive support for people with complex conditions.

Starting Care at the Right Time

Most families in Bradwell come to us not in a crisis, but after a visit - at Christmas, Easter, or during the summer - when they notice that things at home are not quite as they were. A parent managing less well with everyday tasks. Medication not being taken consistently. Someone who seems more anxious or more isolated than before.

That realisation does not mean a care home. It very often means a couple of visits a week from a trusted, familiar carer who helps with the shopping, prepares a meal, prompts medication, and provides a friendly, watchful presence. That level of early support makes an enormous difference.

We are here for as much or as little as each person needs - a single weekly visit, daily care, or anything in between. As needs change over time, we adapt. There is no minimum commitment and no need to make a large decision all at once.

We also understand that loved ones are not always ready to accept help - even when the family can see the need clearly. We are experienced in working gently through this, building trust at a pace that works for the individual, and developing a care plan that everyone is comfortable with.

Close to James Paget University Hospital

Our Bradwell clients are among those closest to James Paget University Hospital on Lowestoft Road in Gorleston - just minutes away. If your loved one has been discharged from James Paget and needs care at home, we can often have support in place within 24 to 48 hours of your call.

We have an established working relationship with the hospital's discharge teams and regularly receive referrals from the James Paget stroke team and other clinical departments. If your loved one is currently in hospital and you are thinking ahead to their return home, please call us now - the earlier we speak, the better we can plan.

We have built a strong reputation with clients and their families, local GP surgeries, and the health and social care community, and regularly receive referrals from GPs and health professionals who trust the quality of our care.

Our initial assessment is free of charge. We will visit your loved one at home, take the time to understand their needs fully, and provide a clear, transparent care plan and cost. There is no pressure and no obligation to proceed.
