Patience, kindness and reliability

Our founder, Peter Shaw, witnessed less than satisfactory home care for a number of his relatives, with rushed visits, continuous new faces and a lack of respect. He decided there must be a better way. That better way starts with who we recruit, namely people who are genuinely caring, empathetic, trustworthy, patient, kind, reliable and hard-working and who appreciate and enjoy the company of older people. With these qualities, we can train to the highest standards of professional homecare.

Consistency of care

We believe in teams because teams give our clients consistency and continuity of home care and our carers the support and team spirit that is so important for a motivated workforce. For each client we will select and introduce a small team of carers who you will come to know as your ‘home team’. Our aim is for there always to be a familiar face.

Time and space

We believe in giving our clients and carers enough time and space to ensure that the home care services we provide are done well, safely and comfortably, never rushed. For this reason, we set a minimum of one hour for each homecare visit. Our home care management system is designed to build sufficient travel time between each client visit, so there is no need to cut a visit short in order to get to the next one.

Your wider support team

Your wider support team might consist of family and friends, your GP, district nurses, a physiotherapist, your cleaner, perhaps a visiting podiatrist, hairdresser or an odd-job person. We recognise the importance of liaising with these services as part of your wider home care support team.

Norfolk Home Care
Catherine W.Daughter of Client

Excellent personalised homecare service that has been a godsend during a spell of very poor health. Flexibility over timings, friendly and capable staff and very good rates. Will stick with this company long term.

SD.Son of Client

I continue to be very impressed with The Home Team service which has been in place for my mum for the last six months since having a fall. My mum has nothing but positive comments about all the homecare staff. The daily visits have allowed her to build confidence and regain her independence. The entire Home Team (from the manager through to the carers on the frontline) have been understanding and responsive to my mum's needs and I recommend them highly.

JB.Client

I was an independent person until ill health changed everything and I now need support. I engaged the services of The Home Team and I am delighted with them. The carers are punctual, polite and very efficient and are enabling me to stay in my own home.

Louise L.Daughter of Client

I am extremely pleased with The Home Team. My Mum enjoys their visits immensely.
I can now relax knowing my Mum is fully taken care of each morning by the very kind and caring team of professional carers.
Very well led by the care manager, who is always prompt to answer any questions.

Heather B.Daughter of Client

The carers are very professional and have handled my father with kindness and sensitivity, alongside doing all the 'jobs' we have asked them to do. The management are responsive and it's good to be able to access the written notes after each visit. I would definitely recommend The Home Team to anyone who needs help looking after relatives.I would be happy to recommend The Home Team to anyone. You will get a first-class, caring service with a business that seeks out the best staff.

Sarah C.Daughter of Client

The Home Team have continued to provide outstanding service for my mother. The carers are always very attentive and make sure all tasks are done quickly and efficiently. They are always kind and considerate and Mother looks forward to their visits. Because there is a dedicated team around each client, they get to know the clients and can tell when something is amiss which has saved my mother's life on a couple of occasions. We've been using the team for a number of years and can't fault them.

Amelia A.Daughter of Client

Every member of The Home Team went above and beyond, meeting Dad's needs and forming genuine connections with him that brought immeasurable comfort and happiness. Their dedication and commitment were unmatched, whether assisting with daily tasks, sharing stories and laughter, or simply providing a comforting presence.

The impact of The Home Team on my dad's final months cannot be overstated. They didn't just provide care; they brought light into his days, and I am profoundly grateful for their unwavering support and kindness, which made all the difference for him during his most vulnerable last months.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Home Team for anyone seeking exceptional care that goes beyond the ordinary, where genuine companionship, practical help, dignity, and warmth are not just offered but embodied. They are a shining example of what compassionate caregiving should be, and I will forever be grateful for their positive impact on my father's life.

AM.Child of Client

I use the Home Team team as I need to travel to London every fortnight and require a carer to attend my dad to ensure he is eating his meals whilst I am away. I have found the team very professional with regard to setting up the service, with the initial review taking place to assess my dad's as well as my own needs. At the moment his requirement is light touch though this will increase as the dementia takes hold. Overall I am very pleased with the standard of care, the individuals who attend and the level of professionalism. Whilst I am away I am comforted my dad is receiving the best level of care possible, a big thank you to the Home Team.

Belinda S.Daughter of Client

A thoroughly professional, passionate and friendly company. Great communication with immediate response. The carers we have had have been well chosen with complementary interests making for a great experience.

Angela W.Niece of Client

I had The Home Team come to my house to help look after my aunt who is 95. The ladies were very kind and caring, they treated her with dignity and chattered with her as they cared for her. I would definitely recommend them to anybody.
