My mum’s got all her things around her, she’s got more freedom and 1-1 with the carers. She sleeps better, eats better, is more content and can go out when she likes.

UK Top 20 Homecare Group 2024 Award Logo for Unique Senior Care

One of the Top 20 Home Care Groups in 2024 - homecare.co.uk

We have been so pleased with the care provided by Unique Senior Care. My mother has a core of four carers for days and nights, all of whom go above and beyond. The carers are so kind, professional and work incredibly hard to provide Mum with a comfortable and happy environment.

Caroline H (Daughter of Client)

The carers are superb and couldn't be improved upon. The coordinator is excellent and support from the office has clearly improved - we get far less 'last minute dot com' and this is important for my daughter. The care transforms my daughter's life.

J J (Mother of Client)

Set up care for elderly neighbour who was not very mobile and needed help with daily care. Unique Senior Care Solihull provided exactly the kind of care that she needed and she couldn't be happier.

Karen H (Friend of Client)

I have found every helper to be kind, caring and more than happy to do whatever to make our lives easier. My husband often doesn't want to have a shower but they are very good at persuading him, which is excellent.

I T (Wife of Client)

The office is most supportive and easy to contact. This has greatly reduced our stress and gives us continuance. We have been dealing with care agencies for many years. Unique is by far the best.

Martin L (Relative of Client)

The carers are a breath of fresh air for my mother and brighten her day considerably! The staff are friendly and supportive and have been so willing to provide extra help and advice as my mother's needs have changed.

A Better Alternative to a Care Home

When looking for care, people often think that a care home is the only option. However, Live In Care is one of the most popular alternatives to a residential care home. This is where a highly trained Caregiver comes to live with you in your own home. Our Outstanding Solihull office will support you with all live-in care queries.

Our Caregivers will get to know you and make sure that you receive the right amount of care, companionship and support. This relationship, along with your bespoke personalised care plan, is at the heart of what makes live-in care the ideal solution for individuals and their loved ones. Live-in care is also usually more cost effective than residential care or a care home, especially when it is a couple looking for support.

  • Personalised service – The client will have a dedicated care team focussed only on their needs, supporting all aspects of personal care, nutrition, and medication.

  • Continuity of care - A consistent team of caregivers will provide the highest level of continuous care, building positive long-term relationships.

  • Feeling safe and secure at home - We know that for most people their own home is their preferred environment, and this can be especially important in relation to supporting clients with dementia. Benefits to remaining in your own home include stability, independence, and comfort.

  • Keep up with their routines and maintain relationships in their community – The 24-hour live-in caregiver is there to make sure that life stays as close to how the client likes it, as possible.

  • Maintain control and independence for longer – A 24-hour live-in care service means that the client is involved with their care and can make sure that it is tailored to their needs.

  • Cost effective – Often, 24-hour live-in care is actually a cheaper option than a traditional care home, especially for couples needing support.
