Alcedo Care provides compassionate and supportive home care, even in the most challenging circumstances. Judith started with us on end-of-life care and she now requires social calls. Ellie, her carer, supports her with daily living activities, going out and about in the community and together they visit Judith’s husband in the care home. They also have a tradition of having a cuppa after a productive day out and having a chat.

To learn how we can support you, do not hesitate to contact us.

"Nothing is impossible." 💙 That's the motto for Taylor and his amazing family.

🧡 A positive step forward for Alzheimer's & dementia care 🧡

This BBC article highlights a major breakthrough - a new finger-prick blood test that could support earlier diagnosis of Alzheimer's - helping people and families access the right support sooner. This is a huge step in the right direction!

At Alcedo Care, we already support people living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia with compassionate, person-centred care that focuses on dignity, safety and quality of life - from the earliest stages through to more complex needs.

Earlier diagnosis means earlier understanding, planning and support - and that can make a real difference.

An international trial involving 1,000 volunteers will aim to detect biomarkers associated with the condition.
