Home Care Services: our mission
care seakr resulted from the experience I went through when looking for a trusted carer for my elderly aunt. Frustrated by the process of finding a private carer that would become a part of our family, I also found navigating state funded care challenging. Read my story.
We do so much more than just match you with the ideal carer. We’re a community of independent carers passionate about raising standards in home care beyond today’s offerings.
Our community exists to match care seekers with private professional care givers that benefit both parties. Our clients’ past experiences show that the incumbent care system is broken:
It fails care seekers—because there wasn’t an easy way to find either the right state funded care quickly or compassionate private carers with the right blend of qualities and skills.
It fails care givers—the hourly rates offered by certified employers fail to provide a living wage, discouraging good talent to enter the sector.

Why is quality home care so hard to find?
There are over 10,100 home care providers in the UK – and those are just the ones registered by the CQC. And yet, in your moment of need, finding a carer seems near impossible. The reasons why ‘the system’ doesn’t work comes down to this:
Low pay
The rates that care agencies typically pay their workers is simply too low to attract
more quality into the workforce.
Inconsistency
This labour shortage results in different faces being sent to provide the care,
making it hard to build trus.
Lack of control
So, how can a care agency gain a family’s trust when there is an imbalance of
control over who will be sent and on terms dictated by the agency?
How our care community works
The power of our care community lies in care freedom. We enable carers to work on their own terms. They can choose their clients, care type (live in, visiting), nature of care (end of life, post operative, cognitive), and their pay rate.
Through our ‘five petal’ selection process, we leave no stone unturned to ensure your live-in carer meets your needs. We match them according to:
Personality
Qualifications
Experience
Budget
Availability
Live-in home care
How does it work? And what do you need to know about your care provider and your carer before you decide?
Financing care
While we don’t finance care, it’s one of the most common questions we’re asked. When it comes to paying for care, what do you need to know?

I would certainly give more stars, to seakr carer, thank you all."
