Our qualified, DBS checked and highly experienced staff team will make scheduled visits to your home, or the home of a loved one, to prepare meals, strip beds, help with cleaning, laundry or ironing and other tasks such as sorting mail, filling in forms or banking that help with independent living. Whilst we cannot provide Personal Care assistance, we work closely with two private Personal Assistants who can help meet your washing, showering or bathing needs.

Carers can take a break from their caring responsibilities during the day or evening while a friendly member of our team keeps your loved one company at home or takes your loved one out for a walk or a drive. This service is subsidised.

What Our Clients are Saying

"…the bottom line is if you weren’t here my mum would be in a home.  She would just give up.  Whereas now she’s got something to live for, she’s got something to look forward to with the help of the Estuary League of Friends.  They are fabulous all of them.  I couldn’t ask for better care.”  - client's son
