Who it helps

Anyone finding housework tiring or unsafe, people after an illness or a hospital stay, and families worried Mum isn't eating properly.

Keeping an eye on meals

Our carers keep an eye on whether your loved one is eating well, and let you know if anything changes.

A real example

For one client, we cook a hot meal from scratch every day.

What families say

Bethany F. Google review

“Lovely ladies, extremely passionate about providing person centred care to the community. Highly recommend.”

“Aurora Care are the most amazing group of carers. Their experience and compassion are second to none, and they continually go above and beyond for my mum. They haven't just cared for her, they've supported our whole family too. Even though I live four hours away, they've eased so much worry because I know she's in such great hands. Thank you, Kirsty, Kayleigh and the team, you are truly a wonderful group of people and we have been so fortunate to find you.”

“My Mum has been using Aurora Care for a few months. Her carers have been exceptional; friendly, kind, diligent and very caring. Nothing has been too much trouble for them to do.”

“These girls and this business is quite the best. They are fun, professional, reliable and immensely kind and thoughtful. The business as such is very efficiently run and their communication skills with the family and their charges are superb.”

“[Her carer] has been an amazing companion/carer for my Mum who has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. Mum has always been fiercely independent & with [her carer]'s support, we have the reassurance of knowing that she is safe & well cared for but can continue to live independently in her own home.”

Household help questions

Light jobs only. Gardening can be a shared hobby during a visit. We don’t take on garden maintenance.

Yes, when that is what the plan agrees. A visit can include the shop and a meal in the same call.

We don't publish fixed prices. After a free home visit, Kirsty gives you a clear written quote.
