Domestic help for the elderly
Quite often, you or your loved one may need more help around the house, but not feel ready for visiting care.
Having a domestic home help carer come to your home can make a huge difference, whether it’s helping with household chores to keep your home looking lovely, preparing a tasty and nutritious meal, or popping to the shops to get what you need.

How our household helpers can support you
We know every individual’s needs are unique. And unique needs require Unique Care. Our Caregivers go above and beyond to help our clients maintain their independence so they can feel happy and supported in the homes they love for as long as possible.
Housekeeping
Keeping on top of housework can be challenging at the best of times. Our Caregivers can help with household chores such as dusting, cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, putting the bins out, and more. No task is too much trouble.
Our homecare support keeps your home looking lovely and frees up your family to spend quality time making memories, not doing chores.
You’ll be matched with a Caregiver who will take the time to get to know you and exactly how you like things, giving you peace of mind that your home will be just right.
Shopping
Whether you need help doing the weekly shop, picking up your prescription, or fetching the essentials you’ve run out of, our Caregivers are happy to help with your shopping needs.
They can support you during shopping trips by helping you find what you need, carrying your heavy bags, and unpacking your groceries, or they can take care of it for you.
They’ll know your exact preferences, from how ripe you like your bananas to which brand of biscuits you always like to keep stocked in the cupboard.
Nutritional support
Eating well is so important for staying healthy, but meal prep can be time-consuming and challenging.
Our domestic home help services extend to nutritional support and cooking, so you or your loved one can enjoy a healthy, balanced, and delicious diet.
Whether you want a comforting, homely meal or have more specialist dietary requirements or preferences, your Caregiver can take care of it all. We’ll make sure you have the right ingredients, prepare, cook, and serve your food, and clean up afterwards.
Why choose Unique Care?
Unique Care’s mission has always been to provide the very best domestic home help to older people so they can live fulfilling, independent lives.
We know better than most how important it is to find the right help around the house, as we’ve been there. Unique Care was founded when our elderly loved ones needed additional support. We know firsthand the challenges and worries that trusting a Caregiver with your family member brings. This experience means we know what outstanding quality care looks like, and that’s exactly what we provide to every one of our clients:
We only directly employ Caregivers who we would allow to care for our own loved ones.
Our Caregivers understand the need for punctuality.
The Caregiver-client relationship is at the foundation of our domestic home help service. Where possible, we always strive to send the same Caregivers, giving you peace of mind that you’re getting support from a friendly, familiar face.
100% of our offices are rated Outstanding or Good by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
We invest heavily in Caregiver training to ensure the same quality of care no matter where you are. Our training is rated best in class by our industry peers.
We don’t believe quality care can be delivered in 15 or 30 minutes, so our minimum call duration is 60 minutes.
We’ve been rated a Top 20 homecare group provider for many consecutive years (2021-2024), based on feedback from our clients and their families.
You will be supported with a dedicated office point of contact. You or your loved one can always speak to someone when you need to.
