Visiting Care The Chesterfords
Visiting Homecare Service
Visiting care for the elderly in Saffron Walden and across Uttlesford and south-west Cambridgeshire
Regular Visiting Care
Our visiting service provides care and support for adults over the age of 65 living in the villages of Great Chesterford and Little Chesterford. With offices in Little Chesterford, our administration centre is at the centre of the area we serve. The advantage of being based in the Chesterfords is that it enables us to provide our clients with a flexible and responsive care service which is genuinely community-based.
Our hourly visiting care service is designed for adults of 65 or over who require regular – or even just occasional – help or support at home. The aim of the service is to provide people with exactly the right level of care and support to enable them to continue living in dignity and independence in their own home.
24 hour Live-in care
If you’re exploring different types of care for an elderly family member, then why not look into 24-hour live-in care? Of all the care options available, live-in care is unique in offering full-time, one-to-one care for people in their own home.
Having an experienced and professional carer on hand 24 hours a day means they will enjoy one-to-one care and support both day and night.
But live-in care is not just about care and support. The presence of a kind and attentive live-in carer means that your loved one will also enjoy cheerful daily companionship.
This unique combination of care and companionship – delivered in their own home -is the reason why live-in care is becoming the preferred care option of more and more independently-minded older people.

Why is local best?
Why Local is the Way to Go: At Chesterford Homecare, our local roots come with many advantages:
Locally based carer means greater reliability and shorter travel times
Because they are local, our carers arrive punctually for their calls and stay for the full time allotted. This makes our care service cost-effective as well as reliable.
Local management
The members of our management team are all based at our offices in Little Chesterford. This means that we can visit you at home regularly to monitor the care you are receiving and discuss any possible changes in your care needs.
Good relationships with associated care professionals
Because we are local, we have been able to develop excellent working relationships with other care professionals, for example, District Nurses, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists. This means it is never a problem for us to organise additional support for you, should you ever need it.
Where to begin?
We do our best to try and keep the process as simple as 123, because we understand how hard it can be to know what to do next, especially when you’ve realised that professional help is needed, but aren’t really sure what sort of support would be best or where to find it.
