About Care and Support Services
We at Care and Support Services are proud to provide trusted home care across Buxton and the surrounding Derbyshire communities, supporting people to live safely and comfortably in the place they know best: their own home. As a dedicated home care provider in the heart of the Peak District, we bring compassionate, personalised support directly to your doorstep. Operating throughout Buxton and the wider SK postcode area, we understand the unique character of this beautiful spa town and the rural villages that surround it. Whether you live in a terraced home near the town centre, a quiet bungalow on the outskirts, or a cottage tucked into the Derbyshire hills, our team travels to you, fitting our care around your routine, your home, and your way of life. Familiar surroundings, treasured possessions, and beloved pets all play an important role in wellbeing, and we believe care at home preserves what matters most. Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the people we support. For older adults, we offer thoughtful companionship, help with daily tasks, medication prompts, and personal care delivered with dignity and respect. Our dementia care is built on patience, consistency, and gentle reassurance, with carers who take time to understand each person's history, preferences, and the small details that bring comfort on difficult days. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, we aim to be a steady, knowledgeable presence you can rely on. We also support younger adults and individuals living with learning disabilities or autism, focusing on independence, choice, and meaningful daily routines. Our approach is led by the person, not the condition, encouraging skills, hobbies, and community connections that make life feel full. For those with physical disabilities, we provide practical assistance with mobility, transfers, and personal care, always working alongside the person to maintain as much independence as possible. We are equally attentive to the needs of people with visual or hearing impairments, adapting how we communicate and ensuring the home environment remains safe and accessible. In practice, this means a carefully matched carer arriving at agreed times, taking the time to listen, and delivering support that adapts as needs change. Families tell us that the reassurance of knowing a familiar face is checking in, sharing a cup of tea, or helping with a morning routine makes an enormous difference, particularly when relatives live further afield or juggle work and caring responsibilities. Our most recent CQC inspection rated us Good overall, with Good ratings across all five domains: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent recognition reflects the standards we hold ourselves to every day, from the way we recruit and train our carers to how we listen to feedback and respond to the changing needs of the people we support. For families weighing up options, we hope this gives confidence that the care we provide is grounded in safety, kindness, and good leadership. Choosing care for someone you love is rarely easy, and we know the questions can feel endless. We are here to talk things through at your pace, with no pressure and no jargon. Whether you are arranging short term support after a hospital stay, planning longer term care, or simply exploring what might be possible, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Let us help you find a way forward that feels right for your family, here in Buxton and across Derbyshire.
