Services

At City and County Healthcare Group, our operating companies collectively support tens of thousands of people across the UK, helping them live independently through a range of care support services.

Home care for the elderly

Sooner or later, most of us will need some sort of help to maintain our independence as we grow older. Supporting older people with daily living needs, and personal care in particular, is the bread and butter of most of our businesses. Our care workers travel around local communities helping people over 65 to get up in the mornings, wash, dress, prepare and eat meals and take their medicines.

Our operating companies take pride in providing a flexible and outcomes-focused service. To this end, as with meeting personal care needs, we offer support with practical tasks such as shopping, laundry, housework and managing personal affairs. We also help older people to get out of the house and maintain social contact with family and friends, reducing isolation that can affect older people living in the community.

Care support for younger adults

Across the UK, we support hundreds of younger adults with physical disabilities, mental health issues or learning disabilities, helping them lead as normal lives as possible.

Complex and live-in care

Some of our operating companies specialise in providing complex care support to people with profound or multiple disabilities. These types of services are typically intensive and may include healthcare and/or nursing support. A number of such services are provided on a round-the-clock or live-in basis.

Support for disabled children

Selected operating companies provide tailored care support for children and young adults with disabilities. Such services range from personal care to support with activities outside the home in assisting our younger clients in having the best start to life they can.

Reablement

Reablement services are increasingly provided to support people who have suffered an accident or sudden deterioration in health to regain essential skills. Properly planned and delivered, good reablement packages can reduce or remove the need for ongoing care support, with great outcomes for clients and customers alike.

Respite

Family carers are often under enormous stresses when delivering care themselves, and receiving a little help every so often can be the difference between coping and not coping. We provide a range of bespoke respite services to ensure that family carers receive anything from a few hours to a few days to recharge their batteries and have some time away from the pressure of caring for a loved one.

Extra Care

City and County Healthcare Group is the UK’s largest provider of care support in Extra Care settings. Extra Care is an innovative half-way house between living independently at home and living in a residential unit. Typically, an Extra Care scheme comprises individual private flats rented by tenants.
