Learning Disability Home Care

At Apollo Care, we believe that there’s no reason for disability to drive one out of their home. Apollo Care enables people living with a disability to remain independent at home, where they’re happiest and most comfortable, and close to their existing support network.

With our disability care, freedom is what we strive to achieve for both you and your loved one. While we prioritise your loved one’s needs at home, you’ll have the freedom to continue independently with your day-to-day life.

Our care is award-winning, our staff are trained, and your needs are prioritised. Our disability care packages are tailored to suit your unique needs, whether you seek full-time live-in care or just a few hours a week.

I would just like to express our thanks for the care that is being provided for our mother. When she came out of hospital last year we had great difficulty finding an agency to provide the care she needed, then luckily social services gave us your number.

You came to visit us the next day and arranged to start the next week, it was such a weight off our minds. Now after 6 months we know that she is safe and getting the extra helps she needs with daily tasks. She looks forward to the days when Sharda visits, she says she is a breathe of fresh air, always on time and flexible and treats her as a friend.

We would recommend your agency to other families for the professional yet friendly care you provide.

Thank you for giving us peace of mind.

Amanda and Rosemary have provided fantastic care to my mother -in law. We had a gap in the care plan and they were able to provide care at short notice. When we have to extend this further , again they were brilliant and provided further cover. it was a very stressful time for the family and they took all the stress away. My mother-in-law has advanced dementia and requires personal care and social activities. Apollo quickly formed a good relationship with her ,picking up on her likes and dislikes and getting her involved in activities that engaged her interest e.g. walks in the park, visit to a museum and going to church. Apollo also provided excellent personal care and ensured my mother in law was well groomed every day. They have been brilliant.

Thanks to all at Apollo for everything you have done for my mother. My mother is not always the easiest of person to look after but you have cared for her with a superb combination of kindness, compassion, and dignity for which I and my sisters will be forever grateful. Thank you for always going the extra mile.

TC Family

Thank you for all your invaluable contribution to ensuring our mum and dad had the best quality life that they could have whilst living in their flat. Care staff like yourselves do great and often under-appreciated work for the older people in our society. We want to acknowledge this and say thanks!

M Family

We would like to thank you and your excellent carers, for the care you provided our father in his final few months of his life. We found the carers to be compassionate, caring and so thoughtful. It certainly made a difference to us and to dad.

DW Family

It is difficult to find the right words to thank you and your colleagues enough for all you have done for mum. Mum was very reluctant to accept support but with your sensitive, caring approach she came to recognise that you enhanced her independence. Without this support she would not have been able to stay in her home of 64 years. Mum felt that the carers coming in were more like her friends.
