Answers to Your Home Care Questions Today Here

Following your first call, we can arrange a no-obligation assessment within 24–48 hours. One of our senior care professionals visits you at home, listens to your needs, and designs a person-centred plan on the spot. Because our team is small and local, we can usually begin support the very next day, ensuring you receive safe, reliable assistance without the long waiting lists often found elsewhere.

You will meet a dedicated team who learn your routine, preferences, and hobbies. This continuity builds trust, reduces anxiety, and means you are never greeted by unfamiliar faces. If a member of your core team is unavailable, we will inform you in advance and send someone already introduced, honouring our promise of zero missed visits and consistent, relationship-centred care.

Unicare Healthcare currently supports individuals in Corby, Kettering, Oundle and the nearby villages. Because we focus on a defined, local radius, our carers spend less time travelling and more time with you. This also allows us to honour our strict 30-minute arrival window, respond quickly to schedule changes, and maintain close relationships with local GPs, pharmacies, and community groups that enrich each client’s daily life.

Yes. Our Home-From-Hospital and respite services provide practical assistance and reassurance during recovery or while family carers take a break. We can collect prescriptions, prepare nutritious meals, support mobility, monitor wounds or medication, and liaise with health professionals to spot complications early. Support may be short-term or ongoing, and we adjust the schedule as your strength returns, helping you regain independence quickly and safely in the familiar surroundings of home.

Absolutely. Our carers receive specialised training in dementia and Alzheimer’s care, focusing on communication techniques, safe environments, and meaningful activities that honour each person’s life story. We build consistent routines, minimise triggers that may cause distress, and work closely with families to adapt the care plan as needs change. The goal is to maintain independence, comfort, and dignity while allowing clients to remain in the place they know best – home.

Our secure family portal provides real-time visibility of each visit. You can review arrival and departure times, read care notes, check meals, and see wellbeing observations from carers. If we notice any change in mood, mobility, or health, the system flags it immediately, enabling early intervention and preventing avoidable hospital admissions. The portal works on any smartphone or computer, giving relatives peace of mind wherever they are.

We look beyond clinical tasks and consider personality, interests, cultural background, and preferred hobbies when pairing carers and clients. This careful matching encourages genuine friendships and keeps conversations flowing. For example, if you love gardening, we will assign someone who shares that passion and can help you tend the patio pots. Regular reviews ensure the relationship remains positive, and we can adjust the team quickly if your circumstances evolve.

Our scheduling system alerts us instantly if a carer encounters traffic or illness. A back-up member of your three-person team is dispatched, so visits are never missed. We also commit to a 30-minute arrival window and will call you if we expect to be outside that time. Transparency through the family portal lets you track changes in real time, ensuring you always know who is coming and when.

Supported Living services for young adults are in the final planning stage and will launch soon. We are currently accepting expressions of interest from individuals with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour, or unaccompanied asylum-seekers who want tailored support. By registering early, you will be the first to receive updates on accommodation, staffing, and start dates. In the meantime, our home care team can provide interim assistance to bridge any gaps.

Simply phone us on 074 504 194 14 or complete the short online form, and our care coordinator will call you back within one working day. We will discuss your goals, preferred schedule, and any specific health considerations, then book an assessment at a time that suits you. The visit is completely free and without obligation, giving you space to ask questions and decide whether Unicare Healthcare is the right partner.
