What’s included
- A hot meal cooked from scratch in your own kitchen while you are there
- Food you actually like, done the way you have always done it
- Extra portions for the fridge or the freezer, labelled and dated so nothing is a mystery
- Breakfast, a light tea, or simply something on a plate at the hour you are used to eating
- Washing up, wiping down, and the kitchen left as clean as we found it
- An eye on the fridge, and a word with you about anything past its date
- A bit of company and a cup of tea while it is in the oven
- The shopping for it, if you would rather not have to think about that either

Questions people ask
- What if they are fussy? Will they eat what you make?
- They will if it is their food. We would far rather cook the four or five things somebody genuinely likes, over and over, than produce something varied and healthy that goes in the bin. If there is a family recipe, write it down for us and we will make it that way.
- Can you cook for a special diet?
- Tell us what has been advised and by whom, and we will work to it. That might be sugar, salt, a food that has to be avoided, or the way something has to be prepared. Where those instructions come from a professional we follow them exactly rather than using our own judgement.
- Can you leave meals for the days nobody is coming?
- Yes, and that is how a lot of people use this. One visit can produce several days of dinners, all in the fridge or freezer with a label on, so the rest of the week only needs the microwave or the oven turning on.
Not sure yet? These might help
- How do I know when someone needs help at home?
The changes families usually notice first, what each one tends to mean, and the smallest thing you can do about it.
- Looking after someone else: help for family carers
You are entitled to an assessment of your own needs, free, whatever the person you care for decides. Here is what that means and what else is available.
How it works
Have a chat
Give us a ring or send us a message and tell us what you’re finding difficult. There’s no obligation, and nothing to sign. If it’s urgent, say so: we can sometimes start straight away.
Your first visit is free
We come out to you at home, meet you properly, and write down together exactly what help you want and when. There’s no charge for that visit whether or not you go ahead.
Your assistant starts
Your assistant starts visiting on the days and times we’ve agreed together, and we stay in touch to make sure it’s working for you.
