About Bradcare

Here at Bradcare, we provide home care support to people living in Swadlincote and across the surrounding areas of Derbyshire. We work with individuals in their own homes, which we believe is often the most comfortable and familiar environment for someone to receive care and to continue living life on their own terms. 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 the time to understand each person we work with, because good care looks different for everyone and a one size fits all approach simply does not work. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the commitment our team brings to every visit, every day. We know that inviting someone into your home to provide care is a significant decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our aim is always to feel like a natural extension of someone's support network rather than an outside presence coming and going. For families, we understand that arranging care for a loved one can feel overwhelming, and we try to make the process as straightforward and reassuring as possible. We are always happy to have an honest conversation about what someone needs and whether we are the right fit. For the people we support directly, our focus is on maintaining independence, dignity and routine wherever possible. We want the people in our care to feel genuinely heard, not just looked after. If you would like to find out more about how we can help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We are based in Swadlincote and are very familiar with the local area and the community we serve.

More about the care at Bradcare

Dementia Care at Bradcare

Few things unsettle a person with dementia more than a stranger at the door at an unexpected hour. Reliable timings, a small team and carers who know the household's habits do most of the work, with patience filling in the rest. Bradcare is registered for dementia care in addition to general home support. Ask what dementia training the carers have, how they respond to distress or a refusal of help, and what the plan is if someone begins to leave the house unaccompanied. Check too how often the arrangement is reviewed and how the agency keeps families in the picture.

The appeal of being supported at home is simple enough, since nothing has to be given up except a little privacy for an hour or two a day.

A Care Quality Commission inspection in July 2025 produced an overall rating of good. With rates in the East Midlands generally between £26 and £31 an hour, the weekly cost comes down to how many calls are agreed and how long each one lasts. Ask how the care plan is drawn up, how visits are recorded, and who is available on the telephone outside office hours.

Older Person Care at Bradcare

Ageing at home works when the gaps are filled rather than the whole day taken over, so a visit to help with the shower or the tablets is often enough. Companionship tends to come as part of the bargain, which matters when family live a long way off. Bradcare is registered for older person care across the surrounding area. Families should ask how calls are timetabled, how many carers would be involved, and what the agency does when one of them cannot attend. Evening, weekend and overnight availability is worth pinning down early. East Midlands rates are generally quoted at £26 to £31 an hour, and Derbyshire can carry out an assessment for anyone who may qualify for support with costs.

Mental Health at Bradcare

Mental ill health is easier to manage when the week has a shape and someone reliable is part of it. Mental health sits among the categories Bradcare is registered for. Ask what experience the staff have of the relevant conditions, how they would spot someone becoming unwell, and which professionals they would bring in during a crisis.

Visual and Hearing Impairment at Bradcare

Lighting, clear speech and the discipline of putting everything back where it was found carry most of the weight when sight or hearing is failing. Bradcare is registered to support people with visual or hearing impairment. Families should ask how these needs are captured in the care plan, whether documents can be produced in large print, and how carers check that a message has been understood.

Younger Adults at Bradcare

Nobody in their thirties wants their week organised around a care rota designed for pensioners. Adults under 65 are among the groups Bradcare is registered to support. Ask how flexible the call times are, whether carers can be matched for age and interests, and what goals beyond personal care are written into the plan.

Learning Disability and Autism at Bradcare

Consistency of staff and clarity about what happens next usually matter more than anything else in learning disability and autism support. Bradcare is registered to work with adults in this group. Derbyshire would typically commission and review such a package, so ask how outcomes are recorded, how often reviews happen and how support workers learn an individual's sensory preferences.

Physical Disability at Bradcare

A safe transfer and a usable bathroom are the two things that decide whether support at home can work for someone with a physical disability. Bradcare is registered in this category. Ask how carers are trained on the equipment in the property, whether two carers can attend where that is safer, and how much the plan leaves to the person themselves.
