Our services
Practical care that starts with the life already being lived.
Lavender provides high quality care and support solutions to people within their own home and assists them to access their local community and health care services.
Domestic Support
Support can include light domestic duties, looking after the home environment, sorting cupboards, reminders for household routines, and help with beloved animals.
Home Care
Care packages are tailored around individual choices, health and social care needs, including personal care, live-in care, reablement, respite, appointments and social access.
Specialist Care
Lavender lists support for dementia, Parkinson's, Motor Neurone Disease, Huntington's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury, physical disabilities and end of life care.
Specialist support
Dementia, reablement, respite and live-in care are visible from the start.
Lavender can offer a rapid set up of care when needed, increase or decrease care when needed, and specialises in stepping in quickly after hospital discharge or a dementia diagnosis.

The small details that make care feel less fragmented.
First call
A practical conversation with the local office, not a generic call-centre script.

Care team
A regular team of carers wherever possible, so trust can build at home.

Ongoing reviews and updated support plans as care needs change.
For families
A route into care that explains what happens next.
Advice first
A free, non-committal advisory conversation helps families understand what support might fit.
Assessment and plan
A pre-assessment leads to a person-centred support plan and risk assessments around the person's own routines.
Funding signposting
The team can advise on care funding routes and signpost when another organisation is better placed to help.
Regular reviews
Care packages are reviewed so changes in circumstances are addressed rather than left to drift.
What families notice
Regular, cheerful carers matter.
“My carers are always bright and cheerful. I have regular competent carers who I can't praise highly enough.”
