Home care, planned around the person

Domiciliary care from Polaris Gateway means trained, supervised carers visiting the home to deliver agreed support, from a single morning call to multiple daily visits and complex packages.

A carer serves tea to an older woman in her own bedroom, a small daily ritual at the heart of domiciliary care.

What we can support with

Every package is built from agreed tasks and outcomes. Below is an overview of the support we can include, the right mix depends on the assessment.

  • Personal care

    Help with washing, dressing, continence, oral care, and mobility, delivered with discretion and respect for routine.

  • Medication support

    Prompting, administering, and recording medication in line with NICE guidance and our medicines management policy.

  • Companionship and wellbeing

    Conversation, walks, hobbies, social outings, protecting the relationships and routines that make a home feel like home.

  • Meal preparation and nutrition

    Cooking, hydration prompts, and dietary support, including diabetic, soft, and culturally specific diets.

  • Household support

    Light cleaning, laundry, shopping, and bill prompts, practical help that keeps daily life moving.

  • Complex needs care

    End-of-life support, dementia care, post-discharge rehabilitation, and care for adults with learning disabilities, planned with clinical oversight.

How we set up care

A clear, four-step process, no pressure, no obligation, and no hidden costs.

  1. 1

    Free assessment

    A registered manager visits to understand needs, routines, risks, and what good looks like from the person and family's perspective.

  2. 2

    Personalised care plan

    We build a written, agreed plan covering tasks, preferences, safeguarding, medication, and capacity. You receive a copy.

  3. 3

    Carer matching

    Continuity matters. We match carers by skill, language, lived experience, and personality, not just by who is free.

  4. 4

    Ongoing review

    We review the plan at agreed intervals, after any incident, and any time circumstances change. Families and referrers stay informed.

For professional referrers

Social workers, hospital discharge teams, GPs, and case managers can refer directly. We will respond within one working day with capacity, suitability, and an indicative start date, and we will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.
