The carer you'll look forward to seeing
Eloise holds a Level 3 NVQ in social care and has 9 years of experience looking after older people, including people living with dementia. She set up Take Care because care should feel like a visit from someone who cares, not a rushed fifteen minutes from a stranger.
She looks after a small number of families, so there is always time to sit down, have a cup of tea and do things properly. Harry runs the bookings, the paperwork and the Social Club, so Eloise can focus on you.

What would care cost?
Are you a care agency?
No. Eloise is a self employed carer who provides your care personally, so you always know exactly who is coming through the door. Harry looks after bookings, the Social Club and the paperwork.
Where do you cover?
Wootton and the surrounding villages, and across Northampton. If you're a little further out, give us a call and we'll see what we can do.
How much does it cost?
Care, companionship and appointments are £27.50 an hour, or £45 for a two hour visit. Mileage for trips out is 50p a mile. A Tea and Tech visit is £45. Care navigation for families starts at £150. The Social Club is £10, or five clubs for £45, and carers come free.
Is there a minimum?
We'll always talk it through first. Many people start with one or two visits a week and build from there.
Are you qualified, checked and insured?
Yes. Eloise holds a Level 3 NVQ in social care and has 9 years of experience. She and Harry both hold enhanced DBS checks, and Eloise is insured for her work.
Can you help someone living with dementia?
Yes. Eloise has experience caring for people living with dementia, and everyone is welcome at the Social Club.
Do you offer overnight care?
Not at the moment. Eloise's visits are in the daytime. If overnight care would help your family, please tell us, as we're looking at how we could offer it in future.
How quickly can you start?
Call us and we'll arrange a free, no obligation chat, usually within a few days. We'll always be honest if we don't have the time free.
