Family-founded care with clinical insight
Our Background, Our Values, Our Promise
Since 2015, Alderberry Care has been a family-run service introducing self-employed carers into homes across the UK. Founded by doctors and nurses, our background brings medical understanding into everyday decisions about safety, routines and support.
Our values are simple: honesty, respect and keeping people where they feel most themselves – at home. Our promise is to listen carefully, explain options clearly and only recommend carers we would feel comfortable welcoming into our own family homes.
Independent Agency
We are not a care home. We introduce self-employed carers and help you choose what works best.
Nationwide Carers
We work with checked, interviewed carers across the UK, including specialists in conditions like dementia or Parkinson’s.
Clear Pricing
You know costs before anything starts, with written details of fees and what is included in the service.
Urgent Start Support
If things change suddenly or someone is coming home from the hospital, we prioritise finding suitable carers quickly.
Trusted Range of Nationwide Care Services
Care Options Available Through Alderberry Care
Through our Nationwide Care Services, we organise a wide range of home-based support, from everyday assistance to complex arrangements, always matched to health, routines and family priorities so life at home stays manageable and safe.
Elderly Care
Home-based support for older adults needing help with washing, dressing, meals, mobility and medication prompts, so everyday life feels safer and more manageable without leaving familiar surroundings.
Couple Care
Care is arranged so partners stay together at home. One or more carers manage personal care, medication, meals and household tasks, even when each person’s needs and mobility levels are very different.
Dementia Care
Specialist home care for people living with dementia. Carers follow familiar routines, use calm communication and manage risks to reduce distress, confusion, wandering and sudden changes in mood or behaviour.
Companionship Care
Planned visits focused on company rather than medical tasks. Carers offer conversation, hobbies, short walks or outings and light help at home for people feeling lonely, bored or lacking confidence.
Respite Care
Short-term live-in or intensive home support that temporarily takes over daily care tasks, so family carers can rest, attend work, travel or recover while routines and safety continue.
Live-In Care
A carer moves into the home, helping with washing, meals, mobility, medication and companionship so daily life feels supported and safer, day and night.
Personal Care
Hands-on support with washing, bathing, dressing, toileting, continence and grooming, given sensitively so private tasks stay safe, dignified and manageable at home.
Private Care
Individually arranged home care where you choose visit times, duties and priorities, giving flexible support beyond standard council packages or fixed agency schedules.
Cancer Care
Support at home for people living with cancer. We help with daily tasks, treatment routines, medication prompts and regular check-ins, alongside gentle emotional support throughout each day.
Overnight Care
Night-time help at home for people who are unsettled, up often or unsafe alone. Carers assist with toileting, repositioning, reassurance, medication prompts and regular safety checks until morning.
After-Stroke Care
Home support after a stroke and hospital stay. Carers help with transfers, mobility practice, personal care and daily routines during recovery at home together, one day at a time.
Housekeeping Support
Domestic help alongside care, keeping the home safe and comfortable. Carers handle cleaning, laundry, beds, bins, light shopping and simple meals each day where needed, with calm reliability.

Answers To Everyday Care Questions
Understanding Our Nationwide Care Services In Practice
Whether you have questions about costs, timings or who comes into the home, our team is here to help. Nationwide Care Services should feel clear and predictable, so if anything worries you, please get in touch with us.
How quickly can care be arranged?
In urgent situations, we can often begin the process within a few days, sometimes sooner. We speak with you about health, mobility, daily routines and home layout, then confirm what level of support is realistic and safe.
From there, we shortlist carers, check their availability and talk you through options. You decide whether to proceed, and we then agree on start dates, handovers and practical details so you know exactly what will happen next.
Who are the carers you introduce?
We work with self-employed carers across the UK, many with specific experience in dementia, stroke, frailty or complex medical needs. They are not casual workers; they choose this as their profession and commit to living in or visiting people’s homes.
Before joining our network, carers provide references, proof of identity and right-to-work documentation, and we complete background checks where appropriate. We then only introduce carers whose skills, experience and approach genuinely match what you have told us.
What happens when I first contact you?
At Alderberry Care, we listen to what has changed, who needs help and what is worrying you most, then ask practical questions about health, routines and the home.
We explain what our Nationwide Care Services can realistically offer in your situation and outline possible next steps. If you want to proceed, we collect more detail, discuss budgets and begin looking for suitable carers to introduce.
How are costs explained and agreed?
Before anything starts, we talk openly about your priorities, the likely pattern of care and any specific clinical or behavioural needs. This helps us estimate an appropriate weekly or monthly cost for the arrangement you are considering.
We then set everything out clearly in writing: what the carer will do, the fees, payment method and any likely variations. You have time to review and ask questions, so you understand the commitment before agreeing to proceed.
How do you match the right carer to us?
Our team looks at more than just availability. We consider medical conditions, mobility, communication, preferred routines, cultural or dietary needs and whether pets or particular household tasks are involved. Personality and expectations matter as much as clinical detail.
Using this information, we shortlist carers with relevant experience who are comfortable with the level of support required. We then share profiles, answer questions and, where possible, arrange introductions, so you can decide whether the carer feels like a good fit.
What if the arrangement isn’t working for us?
Sometimes life changes, or a match simply does not feel right. If this happens, we want you to tell us early. We listen to what is not working, whether that is timing, tasks, personality fit or changing health needs.
We then discuss options with you and the carer, which might mean adjusting duties, revisiting routines or looking for an alternative carer. Our role is to support you through those changes so you are not left managing difficult conversations alone.
