Our services

Everyday help, from people you know.

Nine services, one operating rule: the same small team of carers, every visit. Because help only feels like help when you know the person giving it.

01

Personal care

Personal care is the most personal thing we do. It should never involve a stranger. Your Care Circle learns how you like things done once, and then it stays that way.

  • Help with showering, bathing and grooming
  • Dressing and getting ready for the day
  • Medication prompts and reminders
  • Continence support, handled with dignity
  • Morning and evening routines that stay your routines

02

Domestic assistance

The same carer learns where everything lives, which sheets go on which bed, and how you like the kitchen left. You stop explaining and start trusting.

  • Cleaning, laundry and ironing
  • Changing beds and tidying
  • Shopping lists and groceries
  • Light garden care and small home tasks

More about domestic assistance

The consistency difference

“A hand with the house, done the way you have always done it.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.

03

Meals

The same carer who cooks with you learns exactly how you like it. The right amount of salt, the pan you always use, the way your mother made it.

  • Meal preparation and cooking together
  • Planning meals around your preferences, culture and diet
  • Help with shopping for ingredients
  • Support to keep enjoying food, not just consuming it

04

Transport

It is a different thing being driven by someone who knows you. Your carer knows the GP, the pharmacy and the way you like to stop for a coffee after.

  • Medical and allied health appointments
  • Shopping trips and errands
  • Visits to family and friends
  • Community events, clubs and places of worship

More about transport

The consistency difference

“To appointments, shops and the people you love, with a familiar face at the wheel.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.

05

Social support

Real companionship cannot be rostered randomly. Friendship grows between the same two people, over cups of tea, card games and conversation that picks up where it left off.

  • Regular visits from the same carers
  • Shared activities, hobbies and walks
  • Support to stay connected with community
  • Conversation in your first language, where matched

06

Respite

You can only rest if you trust who is stepping in. Respite with Aldera means the person covering for you already knows the One Story, the routines and the names.

  • Planned respite so family carers can rest
  • Cover from carers who already know your parent
  • Flexible hours, from an afternoon to a full week
  • A calm handover, both ways

More about respite

The consistency difference

“A proper break for family carers, without handing over to a stranger.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.

07

Dementia support

For someone living with dementia, a new face is not a minor inconvenience. It is a stressful event. A Care Circle of two to four people is not a nicety here, it is the service working the way it has to.

  • The same small team, so recognition has a chance to hold
  • Routines kept in the same order, at the same times
  • Support with personal care, meals and the day, at their pace
  • Company and activity built around what they still enjoy
  • A named Care Lead family can call, so you are not re-explaining to a call centre

More about dementia support

The consistency difference

“Familiar faces and unchanging routines, which is the one thing dementia care cannot do without.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.

08

Overnight and 24-hour care

Overnight is when unfamiliarity is hardest. Waking at 3am to a face you do not recognise is frightening. Night cover comes from inside the Care Circle wherever we can arrange it.

  • Sleepover cover, where the carer sleeps and is there if needed
  • Active overnight support, where someone is awake through the night
  • Rotating 24-hour cover from a small, named team
  • Help getting to bed and starting the day at either end of the night
  • A clear handover between the day and night carers

More about overnight and 24-hour care

The consistency difference

“Someone there through the night, and through the parts of the day nobody sees.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.

09

Post-hospital support

Coming home is the highest-risk fortnight there is. It is not the time to meet a different worker every day while you are still working out what you can manage.

  • Cover from the day of discharge, not a week later
  • Help with showering, dressing and getting around while confidence returns
  • Meals, shopping and the household while you are not up to it
  • Transport to follow-up appointments
  • A named Care Lead who talks to the family, and to the discharge planner if you want

More about post-hospital support

The consistency difference

“The first few weeks home, covered properly, so there is not a second admission.”

Delivered by your Care Circle, guided by your One Story, accountable to your named Care Lead.
