About Selekt Care
Here at Selekt Care, we provide home care to people living in Dagenham and across the Barking and Dagenham area. Our work centres on supporting people to live comfortably and independently in their own homes, in surroundings that are familiar and meaningful to them. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Every person we support has their own story, their own routines, and their own way of doing things, and we take that seriously. Care is planned around the individual, not the other way around. Day to day, our carers build genuine relationships with the people they visit. Whether that means helping someone start their morning with confidence, offering a steady hand during a difficult period, or simply being a familiar and trusted face, we try to make every visit count. We know that inviting someone into your home takes trust, and we do not take that lightly. We are proud that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us as Good. That matters to us, not as a badge to display, but as honest recognition that the people we support are receiving care that is safe, attentive and respectful. Our team is local, and many of us have strong ties to this community. That connection shapes how we work. We understand the area, we understand the people, and we are committed to being there reliably and consistently for everyone we support. If you are looking for home care for yourself or someone close to you, we are always happy to have an open and honest conversation about how we might be able to help.

More about the care at Selekt Care
Dementia Care at Selekt Care
Routine is the scaffolding that keeps somebody with dementia living at home, and it is easily knocked down by a changing rota. Familiar carers, steady timings and rooms left as they are reduce the number of problems the person has to solve. When distress builds, the cause is usually physical or environmental, and a carer who knows the person will find it quicker. Selekt Care is registered for dementia care, so ask what training carers complete and how notes move between them. Ask what the service advises as needs increase, and how it responds if somebody starts going out at night.
Home Care at Selekt Care
A recent inspection is useful precisely because it describes a service as it is now rather than as it was years ago. Selekt Care in Dagenham is registered for home care, and the Care Quality Commission rated it good overall in December 2025. What a package costs follows the hours rather than the rate alone, with London prices generally between £30 and £36 an hour and evenings or bank holidays sometimes charged differently. An assessment in the person's own home is the only sensible way to decide visit length and timing. Ask about the minimum visit accepted, how lateness and missed calls are handled, and the notice each side must give.
Older Person Care at Selekt Care
Twenty minutes is rarely long enough to wash and dress an older person properly, which is why visit length deserves scrutiny before anything else. Within a decent call there is time for a shower, clean clothes, medication prompted, a meal and a short conversation. Selekt Care is registered for older person care, with hourly rates in London commonly between £30 and £36. Ask how many different carers would come over a fortnight and whether a small team can be kept. Ask what time the last visit of the day can be, and what cover exists at weekends. Ask how the office finds out when somebody needs more support.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Selekt Care
Good lighting, clear speech and aids that actually work are the basics, and they are often what gets forgotten. Contrast on steps and switches, large labelling, and carers who announce themselves on arrival all make a practical difference. Selekt Care is registered for visual and hearing impairment, so ask how staff are trained and how glasses and hearing aids are kept clean and charged.
Younger Adults at Selekt Care
Support for a younger adult should look forward rather than simply maintain, which changes what a good plan contains. Selekt Care is registered for adults under 65, so ask how visits fit around work, study or family, and how stable the carer team would be. Ask whether support can cover getting out of the house as well as tasks within it.
Learning Disability and Autism at Selekt Care
What the person wants should drive the plan, with the council's review acting as a checkpoint rather than the purpose. Independence skills, predictable routines and attention to sensory needs are the markers of support that works. Selekt Care is registered for learning disability and autism support, so ask how plans are agreed with the person and how progress is recorded.
Physical Disability at Selekt Care
Getting somebody safely from bed to chair is a skill rather than a favour, and it depends on training as much as equipment. Support should fill the specific gaps a person cannot bridge and leave them in charge of the rest. Selekt Care is registered to support adults with physical disabilities, so ask about moving and handling training, double up visits, and who arranges an occupational therapy assessment.
