Help at home whilst living independently across Brighton & Hove
living independently at home
health & social care
Home & Company provides help at home and is owned and managed by Julie Gibson and Loretta Harrison.
We have worked together for the past thirty years. Previously we owned and ran a national organisation which promoted best practice across health and social care through training, events and publications. We also have experience of working in the NHS and voluntary sector.
In 2012 we both experienced the social care system for ourselves, finding help for members of our own family. It left us feeling that there could be more choice in home help and home care. We wanted a different sort of home help and home care service, and so Home & Company was born. We wanted something that was very personal, where clients were carefully matched with their helper and could build a relationship with that person. And we wanted helpers that had a bit of life experience, could cook good food (a topic close to our hearts!), had great communication skills, could drive, and could support people in a more holistic way to help them get the best out of their lives.
We also thought more broadly about what would help people who want to stay living independently at home. So in addition to our home help team we work with a fantastic group of specialists to provide building & decorating, gardening, home security, window cleaning, foot care, hair & beauty and more.
Over the past twelve years we’ve been on a journey with hundreds of clients and as their needs have changed we’ve been able to help them with their next steps.
We have had fantastic feedback from clients, families and their representatives. It’s made us feel so pleased to have embarked on Home & Company. We’re always happy to chat so if it’s helpful please do give us a ring.
