A trusted provider of care for over 25 years.

These days, there are a lot of care providers to choose from, so it's vital that you should feel real confidence in the choice you make. With Audley, you can rest assured you're in the best and most trustworthy hands.  We provide care across communities whether young or old and whatever your particular need might be – from housekeeping to more personal homecare.

Our experience goes back to the early 1980s, when we opened the UK's first private sector purpose-built care home. And more recently, we've successfully developed our unique retirement village concept, the perfect solution for people who want to live in their own home, in beautiful surroundings, while having 24-hour access to any help or support they need. 

Now we're taking high quality Audley care out into the wider world, in the areas surrounding our villages.

Thanks to our extensive experience, we think we have a better understanding than anyone of the kind of support people want and need as they get older, not just to stay independent but to feel in control of their lives.

Our team of dedicated homecarers are appropriately paid and thoroughly trained. And, unlike some in our industry, we're completely open and honest about the fees we charge for our homecare services. With us, there are absolutely no hidden costs or nasty surprises. 

Finally, to complete your peace of mind, Audley is a fully accredited provider of homecare and happy to make available Government inspection reports on our services.  We also have local authority accreditation in Derbyshire, Kent and North Yorkshire.

The care you need, the way you want it.

We can't stress too strongly that with Audley, homecare is a very personal matter; the service we provide is entirely dependent on your individual circumstances and preferences.

Perhaps you just need a hand for a week or two, following an illness or hospital stay. Or maybe you need longer term support to maintain your independence. Whatever your situation, our first step will be to meet you and discuss your requirements. We’ll use the information you give us to draw up an agreed plan - so that we'll always be clear about what you expect from us. At this stage we'll also tell you exactly how much our services will cost.

Some of the main types of help and support around the home that we often provide include:

• Help with washing
• Getting dressed and undressed
• Changing bed linen
• Preparing food
• Help with eating and drinking
• Laundry and ironing
• Washing up
• Vacuuming and cleaning
• Assistance with getting up and going to bed
• Help with administration of medication
• Any other household tasks

But what you may not realise is that we can also help you outside your home. For example, we can go shopping with you (or for you), take you to appointments, post your letters or even walk the dog.

Above all, we make it a priority to do things the way that suits you best. If you want help getting up at 8am and going to bed at 10pm, then that's when we'll call. We don't expect you to change your routine just to make things easier for us. With us, it's all about you. 

Homecarers you'll feel completely at home with.

When a homecarer is coming into your home regularly, it's essential that you not only trust them 100% but also feel completely comfortable in their company. With Audley, the choice is yours. We'll have an idea which of our team would be best suited to you, but if you don't like someone, you just have to say.

We have both male and female homecarers. And, whoever you choose, you can relax in the knowledge that all the people who work for us are:

• Selected with the utmost care and rigorously vetted
• Thoroughly trained to at least Level 2 NVQ in Care
• Kind and personable, as well as totally professional
• Continually assessed to ensure they maintain the highest standards

Quite simply, we couldn't be more keenly aware that Audley's continued success depends entirely on the quality and dedication of the people who work for us. And we guarantee you'll notice the difference that makes.

Where you'll find a higher standard of care.
