About City Care Services
City Care provides care and support in people's own homes in Cambridge and the surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire. We support older people, adults living with dementia or mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults who want to live independently. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Most of the people we visit have made it clear they want to stay in their own home, and our job is to make that realistic. That might be a short call each morning so the day begins properly, or several visits covering personal care, medication, meals and company, or support to get out and keep up with friends, groups and appointments. We plan support with the person rather than around them, write it down in plain language and review it whenever things change. We keep our rounds local so people see familiar faces, and we introduce new carers rather than sending someone unannounced. Noticing matters as much as doing. A carer who knows someone well spots a change in appetite, mood or steadiness, and we expect those things to be raised early rather than left until they become urgent. If you would like to talk through what support might help you or someone close to you, please contact us and we will come and see you without any obligation.
