About Extra Care Services
Here at Darlington Extra Care, we provide home care support to people living in Darlington and the surrounding area. Our team works directly in people's own homes, helping them to maintain their independence and live as comfortably and confidently as possible in a place that is familiar to them. We support a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We take time to understand each person's situation properly before putting any support in place, because we know that no two people are the same and a plan that works well for one person may not suit another at all. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which we are genuinely proud of. It reflects the consistent effort our team puts in day to day to make sure people feel respected, listened to, and well looked after. Home care can mean very different things depending on what someone needs. For some people it is help with personal care and daily routines, for others it is companionship, support with medication, or assistance getting out into the community. We work flexibly around people and their families rather than expecting people to fit around us. We also recognise how much families and loved ones matter in all of this. We try to keep communication open and straightforward so that everyone involved feels informed and reassured. If you are looking for care for yourself or someone close to you, we would welcome the chance to have a conversation. There is no pressure, and we are always happy to answer questions and take things at whatever pace feels right for you.
