About Access Care Live-in Care Agency A family run business for over 30 years. We were one of the first private live-in care agencies in the country. Tiggy Bradshaw (left) and Judie Tighe (right) Access Care was started in 1994 by owner Judie Tighe when she realised there was a real problem in the live-in homecare market. Having witnessed the difficulties her mother had finding help for her father following a hospital admission, she made it her mission to transform the process of organising live-in care so those people who need it and those family members who arrange it have access to a courteous, efficient and safe service. Today, her original vision for the company has passed from mother to daughter and is now run by Tiggy Bradshaw and a handpicked team, all of whom take a personal interest in each and every carer and client. We are small enough to pay attention to the finer details, yet big enough to provide you with an exceptional service. ​ ​ We love what we do. ​ We are a happy, honest, reliable team at Head Office in Goodworth Clatford, Hampshire that recruit and introduce Live-in Carers to people across the UK.

The Victorians displayed them like treasures symbolising luxury and refined taste. Still today, the flower carries an unrivalled suggestion of gentility and sophistication, and manages to retain its association with very special occasions. Prized for their longevity and durability, it is our kinship to the aforementioned qualities that has led us to encompass this beautiful flower as the symbol of Access Care.

We've been doing this for many years now and like to think we know what we're doing - but don't just take our word for it, as well as finding testimonials from our happy clients on each page of the site you can also read on to find out what our recent clients think... “Thank you for providing us with such a great carer, she has been a dream and we are very lucky to have had the carer and service we have had. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.” Lucie daughter of a client." Lucie, Daughter of Client "I have been so impressed with Access Care in arranging live-in care for my elderly father. From my initial inquiry through to choosing suitable carers, the care and attention to detail has been reassuring and I have felt that the team at Access Care have really understood our requirements and have gone out of their way to accommodate us. My father is flourishing in his own home with the support of experienced carers and I think this option has been a far better alternative to a care home. My father has been able to remain in the home he loves, with his beloved dogs and in the community he has lived in for the past 35 years." Josie, Daughter of Client "From the moment I first spoke to Tahira I was reassured that Access Care understood the importance of finding the right carer for mum. Once the carer was in place, the follow up with Jo was excellent. She regularly checks in to make sure everything is running smoothly and the handover when mum's primary carer went on leave was seamless. I can't thank them enough for the support they provided at a very difficult time." Diane, Daughter of Client "I would like to thank you all for the help you gave us in recent months with looking after Elizabeth. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had you working on our behalf from the first time James made contact with you. Like many families, we were not finding it at all easy to find carers who could meet Elizabeth’s requirements and stay wit h us but it became so much easier from November when Diana joined us as the first of the ‘Access ladie s’. Thank you for your patience and helpfulness, and understanding of Elizabeth’s needs, in making all the arrangements for us. Every one of the carers showed such kindness and understanding of Elizabeth’s illness backed by their huge knowledge and experience. They took the rough with the smooth, nothing was too much trouble and they were always so considerate of us, her family, as well.. We don’t know how they do it and can’t thank them enough. Each one of them brought something of their own to Elizabeth; Diana taking her on excursions, sending photos of her happy and enjoying herself; Stef patient and kind even turning her hand to plumbing; Gail whose dogs and budgie brought joy to Elizabeth; Jurate who mucked in and got on with the job efficiently and kindly; Rosie who gave us some of the best weeks Elizabeth had recently getting her conversing and socialising with her friends after a long gap; Maria so caring and cheerful giving Elizabeth some fun and laughter. Finally, Eva who is a very special lady. We were so blessed she joined us for the last few increasingly difficult weeks. It was obvious how mutually fond of each other they were and it is sad they did not have longer together. She recognised time was short and did everything she could to keep Elizabeth comfortable and calm. She went the extra mile sorting things out in the house to ease the burden on us after Elizabeth had gone. Thank you again for everything Access Care did for Elizabeth and us, we would not hesitate to recommend you." Carol, Niece of Client "Danute was the most lovely person you could ever wish to meet. She was helpful and loving, the best carer I have had and in fact more than a carer." Hazel, Client "Alice is very doting on my Mother, very attentive and very patient with her outbursts and accusations. All the family love her and we’re very grateful to have her caring for our Mother." Neil, Son of Client " I commend Access Care, as it was clear there is genuine compassion and interest in the people under the agency's wing, I personally have had most interaction with Tahira, who never takes a move without checking we're 100% clear on what is involved and is very easy to talk to if any further questions arise. We needed last-minute respite care and Tahira pulled everything together working flat out to make that happen with the right placement for my parents. Tahira really comes across as loving her work and is completely genuine in wanting the best care for the customer's loved ones. In terms of Access Care's approach to care in general, it's an above-and-beyond service that brings peace of mind when making the decision for care, especially reassurance that the care staff are qualified professionals, regularly reviewed and updated in training as necessary, and even the level of detail to ensure carers wash the bedding at the end of respite care which made such a difference to my workload on return. I also found it made all the difference being able to have consistency with head office, having used agencies before where the 'assigned staff member' was mostly simply a no-reply email!" Nicola, Daughter of Client " With Appreciation, I can’t thank you enough for all your care, kindness and friendship (especially the good humour!) As a family we cannot thank you enough for the care and compassion that Mum has received. Because you take the time to get to know her , her needs and the family, the care that you have put in place has always been an easy transition and made it possible to keep Mum in her own home." Vicky, Daughter of Client " Tina has been a cheerful and helpful carer for my mother over the last five months. Although my mother's rural village environment was quite a contrast to what Tina was used to, she settled in well and adjusted to a different way of day to day living and a new community. She keeps the home amazingly clean and tidy and always makes sure there are fresh flower arrangements from the garden around the house. Tina has shown a willingness to learn how mum likes things and is flexible and patient in her approach.” Catherine, Daughter of Client " We went away for the weekend the day after Otis arrived so he was really thrown in at the deep end. He supported me well at my friend’s wedding and we had a good weekend away. I was really happy with his care throughout the time he was with me and he kept my house clean and tidy.” Mr. M, Client " Regina has been so warm and nurturing and slotted into our family set up effortlessly. She has cooked and baked for Dad and often volunteered to cook for Dad's family too thus helping to continue to ensure the home is somewhere where friends and family are always made to feel welcome. She ate meals with Dad and would sit and watch films with him in the evenings. This gentle sense of companionship really helped to ease Dad's transition into accepting care and support. We really could not recommend her more highly.” Annie, Daughter of Client CALL US TODAY: 01264 319 399

Live-in Care Costs You ask – We answer. Live-in care arranged through Access Care will cost you between: ​ £1,200 to £1,400 per week ​ All our potential customers like you are entitled to a free, no obligation quotation as every care package is bespoke. Please call us for your personalised quotation. Get In Touch Paying For Care Lifetime Registration Fee When our clients join the Access Care family, we ask for a one-off, life-time registration fee of £150 plus VAT. The fee assures you that we spin our wheels into motion straight away and get to work to find you the perfect Carer. Over thirty years of experience has enforced our belief that the relationship between our clients/customers, carers and the office team is a symbiotic one, and therefore an initial commitment from us all ensures this reciprocal arrangement works as efficiently as possible. There are two costs associated with the care we arrange: Part 1. Agency Fee Part 2. Paying The Carer Part 1. Agency Fee Our service charge to you is called the ‘Agency Fee’. We understand that we aren’t the lovely person that comes to care for you/your relative, so you don’t get the opportunity to see all the great work that the team at the office do beind the scenes to ensure we are able to introduce our wonderful carers to you and have replacements should you need - as well as professional advice on tap. ​ So here’s a snapshot of what the fee you pay to Access Care covers: Anchor 1 ​ Your dedicated customer service representative who establishes a ​ working relationship with you, contacting you on a schedule that works for you and ensuring you are happy with the service we provide and the carer we have introduced to you. They are here to advise and guide you on all aspects of being supported by a live-in carer in their own home and are always very happy to help you. ​ Sustaining and keeping in regular contact with our pool of high calibre carers – the marketing and advertising involved in sourcing and recruiting them. ​ Recruiting and registering each carer on our books and carefully vetting them prior to presenting them to you for selection. This service includes interviews, criminal record checks and verifying training qualifications, as well as obtaining references, ensuring each has self-employed care worker insurance cover, and has been issued with a UTR (Unique Tax Reference Number) so we are assured they are registered with HMRC to pay their taxes. ​ ​ ​ Performing periodical vetting and re-registration checks. ​ Presenting you with a selection of carefully matched, hand-picked carers to choose from each time you ask us to do so. ​ When one carer leaves and another arrives we are busy in the background working on your behalf to ensure the new carer has arrived, coordinating travel plans, arrival and departure times. ​ Offering advice whenever you need and being here for you at every stage of your care journey. ​ Being on hand to make a swift change if needs be, whatever the reason. ​ Our professional fees and overheads to run the company and provide the highest level of service. ​ This agency fee incurs VAT. We bill for this on a four-week schedule, so your invoice will be for the number of days service you have received from Access Care during that billing period. Invoices are sent ten days prior to the due date so you have time to arrange finances. Also of note, is that we charge the fee for full days from start date to end date inclusive of any booking. ​ Part 2. Paying Your Carer The second part is the payment you make directly to your Live-in carer. Your carer will invoice you directly on a schedule agreeable to both of you. Most are happy with a weekly or a bi-weekly payment in arrears. Please do ask your carer to present you with an invoice prior to paying them and it is advisable to ask them for a receipt once you have made payment too (this can easily be a quick email from them stating such). Further info: Our carers typically bill for a half day on the day they arrive, and half a day when they leave. Please be aware that some carers ask for an inflated fee of time and a half or double time on Bank Holidays. You will be aware of this before selecting a Carer. Anchor 2 Other considerations you may not have though of:​ Your Live-in Carer’s food​ cost Carers are 'self-employed' and therefore will inform us of a fee they wish work for. We will always negotiate and agree this fee with you prior to their introduction. Before we introduce your chosen Carer, we will ensure you are both happy with the payment terms. ​ Food Allowance Most of our clients like their carer to eat with them and for the carer's food to be included in the weekly shop so no additional food allowance is required. If the carer and the client have different diets or won’t be eating with the client then a food allowance may be more appropriate. In this case, a figure in the region of £45-£55 a week is recommended. We will of course help you agree this with your chosen carer prior to his/her arrival should you wish. ​ Travel Allowance Unless previously agreed, our carers will not charge a travel allowance. ​ ​ Housekeeping Should you wish your Live-in Carer to be responsible for the household expenses e.g. food shopping, paying the gardener/cleaner etc. It’s a good idea to establish financial arrangements to manage this between you as soon as possible. The key to this is deciding how you will make monies available, how you will replenish them, and how you wish the Carer to record transactions. There are several ways you could consider doing this: ​ Give the carer a debit card for an account specifically used for housekeeping. You can then see and monitor the transactions online. ​ Use a pre-payment card E.g Revolut , Monzo or SuitsMe By choosing one of these cards you can add funds to a debit card for the carer to use, this gives you control and flexibility of the monies that you provide to your carer for covering day to day sundries. We have included some links here for your convenience. We recommend that you ask your Carers to ensure all receipts are given to you or put somewhere for your relatives to collect when they visit. Whichever method you choose, do remind the Carer to handover the bank card to the next Carer on a changeover day. ​ Always Value For Money Most of the cost goes to the Carer, and this is exactly how it should be. Carers deserve to be well-paid for the wonderful job that they do. A Live-in Carer provides full-time 1-to-1 care as and when required and desired throughout the day/night. Residential/Nursing homes may well be able to offer you a room at a cheaper rate than engaging a Live-in Carer, but the service they offer simply can’t match the fact that Live-in Carers provide a truly bespoke and flexible service to their clients with 1-to-1 around-the-clock care. ​ The true value of having a Live-in Carer is in the peace of mind that is provided, not only to the person being cared for but to their family as well. Knowing a much-loved parent, child, relative or friend is safe, warm, well-fed, not alone and in the comfort of their own home is priceless. Holidays If our client (you/your relative) goes on holiday, the agency fee shall continue to accrue for a period of seven full days during the suspended period if we receive less than 28 full days notice. If you can give us more than 28 days notice then there is no charge for the period you are away without our Carer. ​ Hospitalisation If you/your relative is admitted to hospital/goes into respite care the agency fee shall continue to accrue for a period of seven full days after notification of the suspension if we receive less than seven full days notice. Where a booking is suspended beyond this period, the agency fee will be suspended until the date the Booking resumes. Should our service not be needed again, no further notice period will need to be given or payment of our agency fee due. ​ Insurance We would always advise that it is good practice to advise your Home Insurers that you will have a carer temporarily residing in your home. It is important to let the insurers know that the Carer will not be registered as living permanently in the home. ​ Car Insurance It is our responsibility to check that the carer we introduce to you has a valid driving licence when we register them if you have asked us to find you a carer that can drive. This is where our responsibility ends. If you want your carer to drive your car then please contact your insurer and arrange for a policy whichwill cover them to do so. If you/your relative wish to be driven by a carer in a car owned by them then please ensure you view the carer’s insurance documents and their MOT certificate too. ​ Care Workers Insurance We ensure all Carers have what the industry calls ‘Selfemployed Care Workers Insurance cover. There are many companies that provide this so Carers all have individual policies typically covering public liabilities including accidental damage to property and injury. You are welcome to see these when we present Carers to you for selection. Our remit is to ensure they have cover in place when they are presented to you for work and for the duration of their time with you. ​ Other Options: The One-off Recruitment Fee Some people simply use our services to recruit a private Live-in Carer for them and then they require no further involvement from us. Families and Carers may wish to enter into a private arrangement - we understand that this may well be a cost effective way to continue to support your relative in their own home. If you feel this is the right option for you please do contact us at Head Office as soon as an agreement has been reached. We will confirm our fee to you as per our terms of business and issue our invoice. Both you and the carer are very welcome to remain registered with the agency (we simply pop you in our inactive folder) in case you should want us again in the future. ​ You pay a one-off fee once we find your ideal Live-in Carer for you. The fee we charge is like most other recruitment agencies in a percentage structure. We charge 18% of the Carer's annual salary. You can ask us for a quote at any time during your contract with us and we can help you decide which is the best route for you. ​ ​ Weighing Up All The Options ​ Let’s be honest, cost is always a consideration in life and can be a worry for some. Arranging full-time live-in care for a relative may well be a family’s most expensive outlay. Being able to stay at home with a qualified and vetted care worker has many advantages over the alternative of going into a care home. Concerning cost, the most prominent perhaps is that live-in care fees are often less than care home fees and your loved one is being cared for and supported in the comfort and familiarity of their own home whilst retaining their property asset. In the case of caring for couples, live-in care is far more cost effective. And of course, the concept means that parents can stay together. Our pledge to you, is to work with you. Balancing wishes with needs on an individual and bespoke basis to ensure you’ll pay for the exact level of care your loved one requires and desires. No more and no less. As a result, you’ll receive quality care that perfectly suits both need and budget. ​ There are financial advisors that specialise in helping people with care planning. They can provide free quotations for Annuity Plans which are medically underwritten and tax-free, so well worth considering. We do not profess to be financial experts but can give you names of several specialists who can offer impartial advice on this very important subject, so you can weigh up all the options presented to you. ​ CALL US TODAY: 01264 319 399

Reasons To Choose Access Care When researching Live-in Care, you may be surprised by the number of companies offering the service. We believe that finding the right one is rather like looking around a new home and ‘feeling’ it’s the perfect fit for you. We’d suggest you phone a few and just talk to them. The one that makes you feel at ease, that you feel really listened to (not just heard), and the one that offered you what ‘you’ are looking for (not what they offer) is the one to go for. ​ You’ll come across two ‘types’ of Live-in Care service delivery, both of which can be fabulous, again it really is horses for courses! Although every business operates to their own unique methods, here we seek to explain the two ‘models of live-in care’ to help make it a little clearer for you. Introductory Live-in Care Agency (which is us!) ​ Managed Live-in Care Company A fully managed live-in care company quite literally ‘manages’ the care being provided by a Live-in Carer employed by them. Like any other ‘employer’ the company is therefore responsible for the training, supervision, performance of the carer and will take complete responsibility for his/her conduct. Live-in Care companies that offer ‘managed’ care are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and we would advise you to read their latest report which you will find on the CQC website. ‘Managed’ Carers will work following strict instruction for a care plan, written by the company. Any changes are required to be re-drafted in the plan making the model less flexible than that of an introductory agency. Due to employment overheads, this type of Live-in Care will often be more expensive. ​ Introductory Live-in Care Agency An ‘Introductory’ Live-in Care Agency sources, recruits and introduces a Live-in Carer to you that is registered wit HMRC as ‘self-employed.’ So much like engaging a plumber or a cleaning lady, they will come to you for a period and provide a service to you that you require. ‘Introductory’ agencies can recruit specifically for you, sourcing a Live-in Carer that perfectly matches your wishes and needs in every aspect. Without the overheads of ‘employing’ live-in carers, this ‘model’ of live-in care is less expensive. This model of care allows you to be in complete control of the support and care given at any time throughout the day so it affords the ultimate level of flexibility on the market. ​ We listen to our clients. We understand that every client is unique, and every situation is different. It is through positive recommendation and regular glowing testimonials that we know we deliver a quality service with a uniquely personal touch that our clients love. They tell us they choose Access Care because we are “responsive”, “efficient”, “polite” and “open”. We use a combination of expertise and common sense to tailor-make each care package. We love to make things easy for you; to take away the pressure of your situation; to introduce care workers that establish the care package that really works for you and your family. Most of all, we work hard to find you a solution. ​ As a private introduction agency our clients experience great advantages over other models of live-in care. The way we operate affords ultimate flexibility coupled with the very best levels of continuity at truly cost-effective prices. Our recruitment processes are second-to-none and our care workers are required to refresh and enhance their training regularly to maintain their registration. We meticulously manage each introduction promising seamless cover, and continually review our service acting responsively as and when necessary. Our personable office team are a combination of experts in the fields of homecare, recruitment, and training; as well as being friendly, courteous, and attentive. We are, most of all, human. We operate with our heads and our hearts. ​ We believe we have many other strings to our bow that stand us apart from our competitors too; we are family run with a strong succession plan in place to ensure we will be with you as long as you need us. We can offer our clients a one-week care trial, a perfect opportunity to see if live-in care is the right option for them. We regularly provide both short and long-term care solutions and are typically able to start a care package within 24hrs should you need urgent help. On the end of the phone 24/7, we are here to provide our clients with an exemplary service. If you are looking for a care agency that is run by a management team with substantial experience as well as good old fashioned common sense; you’ve found us.

Specialist Live-in Elderly Care Agency Download Brochure Reasons To Choose Live-in Care Hampshire Remain at home Quick & easy to arrange Cost-effective Peace of Mind Retain independence Advantages Of Live-in Care There are many advantages of arranging Live-in care, and as one of the longest-established Live-in Care Agencies in the UK we could talk about the benefits of live-in care all day! Below we have written a list of the main advantages of Live-in Care and have compared Live-in Care to a Care Home to help you in your decision-making process. Stay Living In Your Own Home Whatever your age, whether you are a young adult who needs support and care, or a frail elderly person, we believe it is your right to be cared for at home. It is perhaps obvious therefore that being cared for in the comfort of your own home is the primary benefit of arranging live-in care. There is no upheaval to moving into a care home and therefore familiar routines are kept whilst continuing to live amongst precious memories and in a community you know Live-in Care Is Good Value For Money When considering if live-in care represents good value for money, the primary consideration is in the actual ‘care’ being delivered. There is simply no substitute for one-to-one care in the comfort of your own home. One-to-one attention, care, and support throughout a 24hr period as and when required offers unrivalled levels of focussed care. In the south of England many residential homes can cost more than £1500 per week, so with Live-in Care being around £1,200-£1,500 per week there is synergy amongst the two in this regard. But institutions will rarely be able to compete with the personalised approach to care that having a live-in carer in your own home can offer. Peace of Mind for the Whole Family Middle-aged sons and daughter’s often find themselves pressured by the everyday role of being the ‘sandwich generation’ who are caring for elderly parents and their own children at the same time. Much the same as arranging childcare, whether that be a Nanny or a Parent’s Help, a Live-in Carer is the solution for elderly parents too. Arranging a home carer to live with a parent/s full-time will ensure they whole family have peace of mind knowing they are not alone, warm, safe, well-fed, and cared for. Those that live in the ‘sandwich generation’ need the commodity of time more that anything and arranging help for either children, parents or both is the answer. Live-in Care Represents Safety Thankfully, arranging live-in care ensures that even if you need full-time care, you can safely stay in your own home. There perhaps is no greater evidence regarding this than the Coronavirus pandemic proving how much safer it can be to remain living in your own home rather than moving to a residential care home. It is perhaps obvious that living in your own home reduces the risk of contracting infectious illnesses. Similarly, a ‘Live-in Carer’ is less likely to be a source of infection for a person living in their own home as he/she does not care for multiple people in many establishments. Live-in Care Offers Great Flexibility The nature of live-in care affords a professional caregiver the luxury of devoting all her time to just one person. Live-in care is delivered calmly, without haste and pressure. Complimenting the one-to-one delivery of care is the ability for it to be delivered as and when the client wishes. Fancy snuggling in bed on a cold winter’s morning or having your lunch a little later in the day or wallowing in a warm bubble bath at 3pm, live-in care allows the flexibility to change your routine to suit your mood, and supports your right to do what you want, when you choose. Choice of Live-in Carer Choosing who lives with you in your own home is of paramount importance. And based on your care needs and your personality we will work hard to present you with a choice of professional, qualified, and appropriately experienced Live-in Carers for you to choose from. Enjoy Nutritious Home-cooked Meals With A Live-in Carer Many of our live-in carers and their clients (where able) enjoy preparing meals together. The conversation and reminiscing generated whilst following a recipe together helps cement a firm relationship between the two. Cooking as an activity has many mental health benefits and can reduce stress (unless you burn the scones!), stimulate the senses and appetite, encourage creativity, maintain independence, and make conversation. ​ ​ Food ignites the senses, can evoke emotions and memories and can just be good old fun too! Live-in carers are perfectly placed to assist their clients with any special dietary needs. They can prepare a healthy, delicious, and nutritious meal plan tailored to their specific health needs and their preferred wishes. A Healthy Lifestyle Is Easily Promoted With Live-in Care As well as helping you keep a healthy diet, your live-in carer will help you lead a healthy lifestyle: keeping active, socialising, grooming & dressing, and much more. Your live-in carer can help you go to community events or host friends and family over for tea. They can also research local low impact exercise classes, or help you keep fit at home. Keeping active and social is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and as we get older can be difficult to keep up on our own - here is where your live-in carer can truly make a difference!

This is substantially lower than care and nursing home fees. Read our advice on funding here. ​ What do I need to provide for my live-in carer?

When your carer wishes to have a holiday, simply call your dedicated customer service representative and we will match other carers to you, present them to you for selection and cover their break so that your loved ones would never be left without care. ​ Can a couple get a live-in carer together? Yes, having live-in care is a great choice for couples and categorically represents excellent value for money when compared to paying for two people in a residential care home.
