Once we know your needs, we will approach our local Henley-on-Thames carers, who usually respond within 24-48 hours.
As soon as we know their availability we will send you their profiles. It’s then up to you to decide which carer you like and we can book that carer straightaway.
We recognise that it is helpful to meet a carer in advance of agreeing to an engagement. Where this cannot be easily arranged in person, we encourage you to arrange a video call (e.g. via Zoom) with your recommended carer.
Prices range from £20 – £30/hour depending on your care needs and carer experience.
We will send you a selection of profiles for carers in the Henley-on-Thames area, and you choose your carer dependent on your specific requirements.
We will ensure that you have the same carer each time, we will not send you different carers without contacting you first. This is usually only due to sickness or leave.
We carefully screen and interview all our trusted carers via a multi-stage recruitment process to ensure that all our carers are competent, compassionate, kind, honest and reliable.
Everyone is fully-vetted and DBS background checked.
Plus, we obtain two references on all carers that we take on, to ensure the good character of the people who will be supporting you.
We also conduct thorough individual interviews.
Over the last 3 years, we have taken on less than 10% of carers that have applied to us.
We only list those individuals who we would be happy to recommend to our own relatives.

Caring for someone with dementia involves balancing medical, emotional, and practical needs while preserving dignity and independence. A person-centred approach focuses on routines, preferences, and meaningful activities, supported by tailored care plans and networks of family, professionals, and community groups. Daily care covers communication, hygiene, nutrition, mobility, safety, and managing behavioural changes. Caregivers should adapt environments, use clear communication, and plan ahead for health, transport, and end-of-life decisions. Self-care for carers is essential to avoid burnout and ensure sustainable, compassionate support.
Continue readingDementia is a syndrome, not a single disease, marked by progressive decline in memory, thinking, and behaviour due to brain cell damage. It includes Alzheimer’s, vascular, Lewy body, and frontotemporal dementia, each with distinct causes and symptoms. Cognitive decline, mood changes, and loss of daily function worsen over time. Risk factors include age, genetics, and lifestyle, while prevention focuses on brain health, managing heart conditions, and staying socially and mentally active. Dementia remains a major global health challenge with rising prevalence.
Continue readingDementia progresses through three main stages: early-stage where individuals experience memory lapses and difficulty with complex tasks while maintaining independence; middle-stage characterized by increased disorientation, communication problems, and need for daily assistance; and late-stage involving profound cognitive decline requiring full-time care. While Alzheimer's follows a gradual pattern, vascular dementia shows step-like changes, and other types like Lewy body dementia have unique profiles—understanding these stages helps families and healthcare professionals plan appropriate care and set realistic expectations throughout the dementia journey.

The town and civil parish of Henley-on-Thames are situated on the River Thames in Oxfordshire, in England, approximately 14 miles north of Reading, 7 miles west of Maidenhead, 23 miles southeast from Oxford, and 37 miles west of London (by road). In 2011, the population counted 11,619 people.
Henley’s railway station is the terminus of the Henley Branch Line from Twyford. Previously, direct services have been available to London Paddington. Mainline train services run from Reading (12 miles or 20 km away) to Paddington. There are trains going to London Marylebone from High Wycombe (12 miles/20 km away). Motorways M4 (junction 8/9) and M40 (junction 4) are both around 10 miles (16 km) from one another. Two bus routes serve Reading, Henley, and Wycombe.
Throughout the world, Henley is a hugely acclaimed centre for rowing. A natural straight stretch of the Thames is the setting for Henley’s Royal Regatta which happens every year on Henley Reach, just north of the town. Royalty was given to the regatta in 1851 when Prince Albert became its patron.
