ABOUT ACCESS CARE

Private Live-in Care Since 1994

A Family-Led Advisory Service Since 1994


A considered, family-led approach to private live-in care at home, Access Care is a long-established, independent, family-run advisory service arranging carefully considered introductions between private households and experienced self-employed live-in carers across the United Kingdom.

Founded in 1994 and based in Stockbridge, Hampshire, we support families who value discretion, continuity and a more thoughtful approach to care at home.

Our role is to guide families with clarity and calm judgement, taking time to understand not only care needs, but also personality, lifestyle, household rhythm and the qualities needed in the right carer.

National Capability with Regional Familiarity

From our Hampshire base, we support private households across the United Kingdom, combining national capability with regional familiarity.

Whether care is being considered in London, the Home Counties, the South of England, the South West or elsewhere in the UK, our approach remains personal, considered and carefully guided.

A CAREFULLY CONSIDERED APPROACH

We take time to understand care needs alongside the wider context of the household — routines, preferences and the way daily life is lived.

This allows us to make thoughtful introductions shaped around the individual, the household and the wider rhythm of life at home.

THOUGHTFULLY INTRODUCED CARERS

Successful live-in care depends not only on experience, but on whether someone feels naturally comfortable within the home itself.

Compatibility, temperament and communication are central to every introduction, helping arrangements feel calm, natural and reassuring for everyone involved.

CONTINUITY AND CONSISTENCY

Where possible, we provide continuity of care, allowing trusted relationships, familiar routines and daily life at home to continue with greater stability and reassurance.

This consistency offers reassurance to both the individual receiving care and those close to them.

ONGOING GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT

Our involvement does not end once care begins. We remain available to offer guidance, support and continuity as needs evolve over time.

Families often value knowing there is always an experienced team available should guidance, reassurance or support ever be needed.

A Personal Note from Tiggy Bradshaw

Arranging care is rarely a purely practical decision. It often follows a change in circumstances — and it deserves calm judgement rather than urgency.

Our role is to provide clarity, reassurance and measured advice, grounded in experience. If we believe another approach would better suit your circumstances, we will say so. Our independence allows us to advise honestly.

For families seeking private live-in care at home, arranged with discretion, flexibility and continuity, Access Care offers a long-established and trusted advisory partner.
