Excellent service manager, goes out of her way, is knowledgeable and understands my son’s needs. The carer is great, and has a good understanding of autism.

We are very happy with the service. My son has been very happy. We have had previous care providers that did not meet our needs the way Optimum Care has.

Review Collected on homecare.co.uk
When my mother was discharged from the hospital initially in December 2022, I chose Optimum as her care provider because they submitted a care plan that closely met the criteria that I had I had specified. From day one, their service has been first class, with the carers being very friendly and sympathetic. When my mother had a further spell in hospital in January 2023, the company kept closely in touch with me regarding her condition, and when she was discharged, again, they ensured that carers were on hand to welcome her home and settle her back in her bed. They have also kept in constant touch with the local NHS Community Nursing Services to ensure that my mother got the treatment and equipment that she required for her medical condition. I would thoroughly recommend Optimum Care to anyone who needs care.

My Nan has been using Optimum care for the past 5 months or so. Having had experience with previous care providers they stand out for their genuine interest in and dedication to care!

The management team play an active role in Nan's care. The carers who visit are polite, punctual, cheerful and eager to help Nan to be comfortable and happy. They've built up a really positive and compassionate relationship with my Nan which makes a huge difference to her. Having the same carers visit means the care given is consistent and reliable.

I feel confident that my Nan is not only receiving a very high standard of care but will continue to do so.

The ladies who work for this company really bring love and care into their work. They go above and beyond for the care user and their families. I cannot recommend this company more - honest, reliable and extremely hard working. They treat the care user like family, giving a personal touch to everything they do. The perfect pairing for caring for my mum.

Mum has had many care companies over the last six years. Optimum Care are absolutely the best. Mum lives on her own and has 4 double-up visits every day. The carers are all lovely, kind, gentle and understand and support her many needs. They are timely, friendly, very professional and know exactly what mum needs. Communication with Mum and us the family is excellent, always readily available to speak to and to advise and support us as Mum's needs develop. Mum is very very happy with the lovely carers and the support she receives from them and if Mum is happy then so are we! Without them, Mum would not be able to live so happily on her own and in her own home. This is an excellent care company and I could not recommend them highly enough. They are first class. Thank you to the fabulous Optimum Care team.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dementia care, and how does it work?

Dementia care supports individuals facing memory loss, confusion, or behavioural changes due to Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. Our carers help with daily routines, safety, and emotional wellbeing – whether through short visits or full-time live-in support. Care plans are built around each person’s stage of dementia and personal preferences, and evolve as needs change.

Yes. In fact, home is often the best place for individuals with dementia. Familiar surroundings can reduce stress, confusion, and anxiety. Our carers help maintain safety and routine at home, providing either regular visits or 24/7 live-in support depending on your needs.

We offer:

  • Visiting Care – regular scheduled visits starting from 30 minutes for help with meals, hygiene, medication, and companionship.

  • Live-In Care – a dedicated carer lives in the home, offering round-the-clock support, particularly helpful for advanced dementia or high-risk individuals.

Both services are personalised, flexible, and delivered by trained dementia care professionals.

All dementia carers undergo specialist training covering communication techniques, behavioural response, safeguarding, and condition-specific care. They also receive regular refresher training and are supervised to ensure quality, empathy, and consistency in care.

Our dementia carers support:

  • Personal care (e.g. washing, dressing, toileting)

  • Meal preparation and feeding assistance

  • Medication reminders and administration

  • Housekeeping and laundry

  • Mobility and fall prevention

  • Companionship, hobbies, and outings

  • Emotional support for both the person and their family

Yes. We believe that dementia care should go beyond clinical needs. Our carers encourage hobbies, support community visits, and assist with events, gardening, shopping, or faith-based activities. These moments promote connection and joy.

We consider personality, communication style, experience, and emotional compatibility. Matching the right carer is key to building trust, easing anxiety, and creating a safe, familiar relationship. You’ll meet your carer in advance, and we welcome your input in the selection process.

Contact us to book a free home care assessment. We’ll discuss your needs, explain care options, and build a personalised plan. Our flexible approach means we can adjust support as circumstances change, ensuring care remains appropriate and compassionate at every stage.
