Salus Care Services provides personalised home care to individuals and families across the UK. From a gentle morning visit to round-the-clock live-in support — built around the person, not the schedule.
Choosing a care provider is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Here is what families across the UK trust us to do, day after day.
No two people are the same. Every care plan begins with a thorough assessment — understanding the individual's needs, preferences, routines and goals.
We match clients with carers carefully, ensuring consistency and continuity. A trusted relationship between carer and client is central to the quality of care we deliver.
All carers complete a comprehensive induction — safeguarding, manual handling, medication management and specialist care. Ongoing supervision keeps standards high.
Regular updates, care notes and open channels ensure loved ones are always kept in the loop — giving families genuine peace of mind.
Whether you need a 30-minute morning call or full-time live-in support, we build schedules around the client — not around our convenience.
We offer a no-obligation initial assessment at no cost. A coordinator visits, listens and produces a personalised care plan — before any commitment is made.
From a few hours a week to full-time live-in support — a complete range of home care services, all delivered by our experienced, compassionate team.
Assistance with washing, dressing, grooming and personal hygiene — provided with respect for dignity and independence at all times.
Regular visits for conversation, activities, outings and emotional support — helping combat loneliness and maintain social connections.
Prompt and accurate assistance with medication administration and management, reducing the risk of missed doses or errors.
Planning, preparing and serving nutritious meals tailored to dietary requirements, preferences and health conditions.
Specialist support for individuals living with dementia, Alzheimer's and complex health conditions — delivered by trained, experienced staff.
A dedicated live-in carer provides round-the-clock support within the client's home — a compassionate alternative to residential care.
Dementia care is specialist home support that helps people with dementia — Alzheimer's, Lewy Body, vascular, frontotemporal, and mixed — live as safely, comfortably and independently as possible. The plan changes with the condition.
Forgetting names, repeating questions, missing appointments. Care is gentle and confidence-building — prompts rather than prescriptions, routine rather than rules.
Confusion at familiar tasks, the start of sundowning, a shift in sleep patterns. Care builds anchors into the day — same time, same face, same kitchen.
Wandering, difficulty eating, fragmented sleep. The plan moves toward live-in care, with one main carer and reliable cover — never a rota of strangers.
The case for staying at home isn't just sentimental. It is the simpler way to keep what's working, working.
Familiar walls hold memory better than new ones. Living at home lets the person keep the rhythms that already work — the morning radio, the kettle in the same spot, the same view through the same window.
Friends, neighbours, the corner shop, the local church if it matters. Many high streets are quietly becoming dementia-friendlier — staying at home keeps those connections active rather than starting them from scratch.
A walk to the post box. Half an hour in the garden. The small bits of outdoor time that lift mood, support sleep, and keep balance and strength steady for longer.
A cat on the sofa, a dog at the door — companionship that families forget is at risk in a residential move. Live-in care keeps it.
Cooking in the person's own kitchen, to their taste and to their diet. Three meals a day, the way they have always been — not by the institutional timetable.
Someone present overnight. Doors checked. Wandering risk managed gently. The family sleeps too.
Where a hip-replacement client needs the same procedure followed twice a day, a dementia client needs the same person twice a day. Trust is the working tool — and you cannot build trust on a different face every shift.
Most dementia placements at Salus run with one main carer and one backup, on a regular rotation. Wherever practical, we match on personality and shared interests — the same playlists, the same memories of the same decade, the same kind of patience. We meet the family before the first visit, and we re-match without awkwardness if the chemistry isn't there.
Every carer working on a dementia placement has prior dementia experience, full induction in safeguarding and medication, and ongoing supervision. The named coordinator for the family is the same person from the first call onward.
Backup planned, not improvised.
Music, decade, kind of conversation.
Before the first visit, every time.
Call or complete our enquiry form. We will discuss your needs and arrange a home visit — at no cost or obligation.
A care coordinator visits to understand the individual's needs, preferences and goals — producing a personalised care plan.
We match a carer whose skills, personality and availability align with the client — building the right relationship from day one.
Care starts on your agreed date. We monitor, review and adjust the plan regularly — keeping families informed every step of the way.
Most families don't actually need a care home — they need the right support, in the right place, at the right time. Here's how home care with Salus compares.
| Salus home care | Residential care home | |
|---|---|---|
| For dementia specifically | One matched carer · same routines · same home | Standardised programmes · changing staff |
| Where | The client's own home | Shared facility, away from home |
| Carer relationship | Same small team, matched to the person | Rotating staff across many residents |
| Schedule | Built around the client's day | Built around facility timetable |
| Cost — from | £22/hr private · £18/hr LA | £1,200–£1,800/week and rising |
| Family contact | Regular updates, open channels | Visiting hours and policies |
| Specialist support | Dementia, complex care, live-in | Varies by facility |
When you've started to worry — usually before the person needing care has. Early-stage support holds confidence; late-stage support holds safety. The free assessment will tell you honestly which one applies.
Yes wherever humanly possible — that is the working principle of dementia care at Salus. Annual leave and sickness mean a backup at times; we plan the backup, we don't improvise it.
Often yes, and the matching is why. The conversation, the shared interests, the right kind of patience — these are deliberately matched and frequently change a “no” into a “she's lovely” inside a fortnight.
We re-match, without awkwardness, without renegotiating the plan. We expect this conversation occasionally and the plan is designed to absorb it.
Yes — live-in care covers nights with planned cover during the carer's rest periods. The plan is written around the actual sleep pattern of the person, not the textbook one.
It depends. For middle-stage dementia at home, often yes. For complex round-the-clock medical needs, sometimes no. We will tell you honestly on the free assessment which is the right answer for your family.
Yes — Salus accepts LA-funded clients on the same care terms as private clients. The rate band differs but the carer and the plan do not.
Carers prompt, observe or administer medication to the level the care plan permits. Every dose is recorded after every visit. The GP and pharmacy are looped in on any change.
Written care notes after every visit, a named coordinator the family can call, and a monthly check-in. Quieter weeks get quieter updates — we do not manufacture incidents to fill an inbox.
Handled honestly when scope-appropriate; otherwise we coordinate with the GP, district nurse and hospice teams without claiming territory that is not ours.
This year alone, our carers have spent more than 5,000 hours in clients' homes — preparing meals, prompting medication, holding hands, walking gardens, and quietly being there. Behind every hour is a person at home, a family at ease, and a carer who showed up.
Our rates are clear and competitive — with options for both private clients and local-authority-funded placements. No surprises, no upsell.
Great care starts with great people. Whether you are experienced or starting out, we want carers who are kind, reliable, and genuinely care about the people they support.
£11.50–£15.00 per hour, rising with experience and qualifications.
Full induction, Care Certificate and NVQ support — paid time.
Part-time, full-time, evenings, weekends — built around your life.
