It is one of the most important decisions you will ever make as a family – choosing the best care for someone you love. We’re here to help your loved one be secure, comfortable and independent in the place they know best – their own home. Black Horse Care provides compassionate, competent home care services in Greater London and Essex.
If your family needs a little help each day, overnight peace of mind or full-time live-in support, our qualified and DBS vetted carers are available to help. We are a CQC registered home care provider, and all of our services are based on one simple belief: your happiness is our aim.
Compassionate home care, in the comfort of your own home
Moving into a care home is not the only option, and for many families it’s not the right one. Home care allows your loved one to stay in their own environment, with their own routine, surrounded by familiar comforts and cherished memories and get the right level of support.
Our carers provide so much more than help with daily activities. They offer real companionship, a welcoming face and the piece of mind for the whole family of knowing there is someone kind and capable there. From support with washing and dressing, medication support, meals, mobility and just being there, everything is tailored to the person.
We understand that inviting a caretaker into your house is a major step. So we take time to match each client with a carer who is right for their needs, personality and preferences, developing trust from the very first visit.
Our home care services in Greater London
Whatever amount of assistance your loved one requires, we have a full spectrum of home care services so we can help.
Live-in care
If you need 24 hour care, our live-in care service provides you with a personal carer who will reside in your house, providing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week full time support and companionship. It’s typically a cheaper and more reassuring option than a care facility, particularly for couples. Find out more about our live-in care service.
Visiting care (domiciliary care)
Sometimes all it takes is a little help each day. Our domiciliary care service offers scheduled visits to assist with personal care, medication, food, housekeeping and more, providing your loved one with independence with the necessary support.
Night care
Nights can be the most frightening time. Our overnight care offering means there is someone there during the night, whether that’s sleeping support on hand or awakening care for people who need attention during the night.
Care of dementia
It takes patience, empathy and professional expertise to care for someone with dementia. Our carers are trained in the kindness, routine and reassurance necessary to manage memory loss, in the familiar surroundings that make individuals with dementia feel safe. Learn more about our dementia care.
Temporary care
Family carers also need a break. Let our respite care help when you need time to relax, heal or just recharge. You can leave secure in the knowledge that your loved one is in safe loving hands while you are away.
Social companionship care
Loneliness is as bad for your health as any physical illness. Our companionship care offers friendly companionship, regular company, discussion, shared activities and a genuine connection to brighten your loved ones days.
