Getting older doesn't mean you have to move out of your home

It might have become harder to keep up around the house or get to the shops. Or you may need support to manage complex health and clinical needs.

Whether you need a little help, or a lot, our team brings the care to you.

We've been caring for over 90 years, so wherever you're at, whatever you need, we have the skills, experience and compassion to help. 

Even if you don't know what to do next, we do.

We do nursing and clinical care, by experts

Our professionally qualified clinical care managers can come to your place and manage medications, wound care, post-op care, injury support and more.

We do dementia care, that really connects

Our dementia expertise informs every aspect of our care, with home care teams skilled in support for people living with dementia, and specialist advice available.

We do respite care, day or night

You don’t have to go it alone – we offer a little extra care for a few hours, or a few days, with personalised, compassionate respite support at home, or at one of our cottages or day centres.

We do physiotherapy, and more

Getting older doesn’t have to mean slowing down – our physiotherapists, dietitians and other allied health professionals are standing by to support you.

We do a little home help, inside and out

Our team can help with practical, day-to-day tasks such as meal preparation, grocery shopping, and keeping your home and garden tidy and safe.

We do palliative care, with compassion

However complicated things get, our home care teams can support people (and their families) facing a life-limiting illness to live in their own home, as well as possible, to the very last days.

We do pastoral care, whatever you believe

As an independent Christian charity, we offer emotional and spiritual support to people of all faiths, or none, from any cultural background: it’s about what matters to you.

We do volunteers, for great company

Whatever you love, there’s probably a HammondCare volunteer who loves it, too. Our 650+ volunteers are looking forward to spending time with you, enjoying your hobbies, activities and interests.

We do social clubs, because connection matters

Step out of your routine at one of our Social Clubs, while your carer takes a break. Chat with people your own age, take part in activities, and share in a delicious, homemade lunch.

It's all about you

We want to get to know you! That's how we provide the best care possible. So, we listen to you, and together we develop a care plan that’s tailored specifically to your needs, outlining the home care services you require and how often you need them.

And whatever comes, we'll adapt with you - continually reviewing the plan so you're always getting the care you need.
