For many people, home isn’t just a place — it’s part of who they are: memories, routines, and a sense of self. It’s where life feels safest and most in control. When needs change, that connection matters more than ever.
That’s why our visiting care services are designed to fit your day, not the other way around. Whether it’s help getting up in the morning, support with medicines, preparing meals, or simply a friendly chat and wellbeing check, we provide personalized care when you need us — mornings, lunchtime, teatime, evenings, or bedtime — so you can keep living on your terms.
At Greenwich Home Care, you’ll see the same small, trusted team who know your preferences and respect your independence. Each visit is focused, unhurried, and person-centred: practical help, warm companionship, and clear communication with family (with your consent). With us, you’re never just on a rota — you’re genuinely cared for.
Visiting care suits people who want:
Help with specific tasks at set times (mornings, lunchtime, evenings, or bedtime)
Short, focused support after a hospital stay or during recovery
Regular companionship, gentle prompting, and reassurance for family
A service that can flex up or down as needs change
Common reasons include dementia support, mobility or balance issues, medication routines, personal care, meal preparation, and support for family carers who need a break
Personal care: washing, dressing, continence care, oral care, skincare

Greenwich Home Care provides exceptional home care services regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). We implement robust policies for medicines, safeguarding, infection prevention, and moving-and-handling to ensure our clients receive personalized care. Full versions of these policies are maintained internally and are available to inspectors upon request.
We provide a personalised quote after assessment—no obligation and clearly itemised. Fees reflect the number and length of visits, time of day, complexity, and any enhanced skills required.
