Our Domiciliary Care Approach

At NU Healthcare, we prioritise a person-centred approach. This means we listen to your story, preferences, routines, and values, and then build a care plan that fits you. Our experienced team of care coordinators and carers work closely with each client and their family to adapt support as needs change over time.

Carer Matching and Continuity

Consistency is key to building trust and rapport. Wherever possible, we aim to assign regular carers to each client. Our team is not only trained in essential care techniques but also in communication, emotional support, and safeguarding. All carers are DBS-checked, insured, and receive continuous training.
