At StellarCare NW we are dedicated to delivering a wide variety of home care services that are built around the needs and aspirations of the individual client. Our holistic approach encompasses all elements of a person’s physical and mental health wellbeing and, we pride ourselves on offering services that are unique to Domiciliary care and sets us apart from other home care agencies at no extra costs!

Our unique brand includes Nurse-Led care, a service offered to all clients whether you need nursing support or not. However, should you become unwell or have a health care complaint, the Nurse will visit you and take appropriate action on your behalf. This may include calling the GP, contacting District Nurses or by making a referral to therapy services. Having a Nurse involved with your care offers many benefits and can ensure that you receive prompt level 5 assessment and care while offering clinical expertise in your home which, in some cases can prevent some clinical conditions to worsen preventing unnecessary hospital admissions.

StellarCare NW is managed in small local teams called 'Care Hubs'. Care Hubs promote effective working and promote positive relations with you and your family or next of kin. We pride ourselves on meeting the client needs and promote continuity and stability by assigning a pool of carers to your visits. At StellarCare NW we ensure that all our clients never feel as though they are just a 'number' and go above and beyond to deliver you the best care and support in your home.
