Your Care, Your Way
Together, we'll create a care plan that not only meets your needs but also aligns with your preferences and lifestyle.
Fully regulated
We’re fully regulated and regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and other UK governing bodies, ensuring we maintain the highest standards of care.

We see you as an individual, not just a client. Our care plans are meticulously crafted to honour your unique lifestyle and preferences.
Expertise You Can Trust
Our carers undergo rigorous training and background checks, guaranteeing a professional and reliable service you can depend on.
What is Live-in Care?
Live-in care means that a fully trained care assistant lives in your home, providing continuous, one-to-one support tailored to your personal needs. Unlike hourly home visits, live-in care offers companionship, peace of mind, and immediate assistance, day or night.
Unlike many agencies, Thames Care directly manages our live-in care service, ensuring quality, consistency, and peace of mind.
We’re not just a placement agency. We deliver and monitor care ourselves, with regular visits from senior care coordinators to ensure the highest standards are met.

Every care plan is tailored specifically to the individual, ensuring the right level of support at the right time. Our team is experienced in managing complex care needs and offers specialist support for neurological conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, and stroke recovery.
