Home help in St Mary Cray
Looking for home help or a companion for an elderly parent in St Mary Cray?
Families usually find us when they search for home help for the elderly, a companion for an older relative, a befriending or sitting service, or help with shopping and cleaning near St Mary Cray. That is exactly what we do. A regular, friendly visit from the same local support worker covers company, shopping, a cooked meal, light housework and a reminder to take tablets, so your mum or dad can stay independent in their own home.
If you look after someone yourself, our sitting service gives you a planned carer break of three or four hours. We are not a care agency and we do not provide personal care, which is why we can be flexible: visits from 30 minutes, no minimum contract, and the first home assessment in St Mary Cray is free.
Paying for support
Self-funding or a Direct Payment from London Borough of Bromley.

Carers need a break too
Our Family Carer Break gives an unpaid carer three or four hours off, with the same familiar support worker each time. Ask your council for a free carer’s assessment too.
