About Gracious Care (Holdings) Limited
Gracious Care is for anyone who wishes to remain independent in their own home but requires a level of help. Join our fully trained support team and you can help make a difference to dependent and vulnerable folk in both domestic and personal care tasks.
Our customers will have lost confidence following a fall. Or perhaps support is needed after either minor surgery or an extended spell in hospital. Some of our customers have had a dementia diagnosis. They have a lifetime of fascinating memories to share and need more support or a live-in carer to assist so that their spouse or partner can give more time and attention to care. Whatever our customers need, the extra help of Gracious Care home care and personal care services can make all the difference to the way they can live a fulfilled life.
Gracious Care visits can start from as little as 30 minutes. We offer a full range of options for various duration of assistance according to requirements including up to several visits a day or multiple hours of care such as a sitting service giving the opportunity for the whole family to revitalise itself.
