Home care is rarely something families plan for in advance. It often follows a crisis – a fall, a hospital visit, or a growing realisation that Mum or Dad is slowing down and struggling at home. These moments are emotional, overwhelming, and filled with urgency. In the panic, many people turn to Google, click the top result, and sign up with the first care company they see – not necessarily the one that’s right for them.
Before committing, ask a few key questions:
Location – Does the company truly cover your area, or are they stretching themselves thin?
Size – Larger agencies often prioritise filling rotas over continuity. Carers may come and go.
Reputation – Some new companies lack experience, while others have been bought by investment firms more focused on profit than people.
At Clarendon Home Care, we do things differently. Since 1994, we’ve supported families across Cobham, Thames Ditton, Walton, Kingston, Staines, Sunbury, and Egham with genuine, local care. Our kind, English-speaking carers are loyal, consistent, and supported by a dedicated office team who truly know your area – and your loved one.
