About Starwrick Care
Basingstoke Starwrick Care is a home care agency working in Basingstoke and the surrounding area of Hampshire. We visit people in their own homes so they can carry on living where they want to be, with the right amount of help and no more than that. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability. Our calls typically cover personal care, help with medication, meals and drinks, support to move safely around the home, and practical help with the everyday jobs that have become harder. Just as often, what makes the difference is the company and the certainty that somebody will come. We start by asking rather than assuming. What time does the day usually begin, what has become difficult, what would you like to keep doing yourself, and who else needs to be kept in the loop. From those answers we build a plan, and we change it as soon as it stops fitting rather than at some scheduled review date. Continuity is something we protect. Sending the same small group of care workers to the same people is better for everyone, and it is how problems get noticed early. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission. We would encourage anyone considering us to ask about our recruitment checks, our training, how we supervise visits and how we deal with concerns. Those questions are fair and we are ready for them.

More about the care at Starwrick Care
Dementia Care at Starwrick Care
Living well with dementia usually depends on steady routines, familiar faces at the door, and carers who can read the small signs that something is wrong before it becomes a crisis. Because home care happens in the person's own kitchen and living room, the surroundings are already familiar, which can help with orientation and mood if visits are timed consistently. Basingstoke Starwrick Care is registered for dementia support, though as a newer service it has not yet received an overall CQC rating. Families should ask how the agency responds to distress or agitation during a call, what happens if someone is found trying to leave the house, and how the plan is adjusted as memory and communication change. It is also worth asking how observations are shared with relatives and the GP between visits.
Home Care at Starwrick Care
Home care is a regulated service where trained carers visit people in their own homes to help with the parts of the day that have become harder, from personal care and medication to meals, mobility around the house and simple company. Basingstoke Starwrick Care in Basingstoke is registered with the Care Quality Commission to deliver this kind of support across Hampshire, covering older people, younger adults, dementia and physical disability. Privately funded visits in the South East typically fall between £29 and £35 an hour, while Hampshire County Council commissions care at its own agreed rate for those assessed as eligible. Sensible questions include how calls are scheduled, how continuity of carer is protected, how medication is recorded, and how the plan is reviewed when needs shift.
Older Person Care at Starwrick Care
Support at home for older people usually blends the practical and the personal, from a hand with washing and dressing first thing to prompts with medication, a proper meal, and a bit of conversation before the carer leaves. Basingstoke Starwrick Care is registered with the CQC for older person care in Basingstoke and the surrounding parts of Hampshire, though it has not yet been given an overall rating. Indicative home care rates across the South East sit between £29 and £35 an hour, with Hampshire County Council contributing at its own agreed rate where someone is eligible. Families weighing up the agency should ask how morning and evening call times are protected, whether the same small team visits each week, and what cover looks like if a regular carer is off sick or on leave.
Younger Adults at Starwrick Care
Support for adults under 65 needs to fit around work, study, family and a social life, not just the tasks on a care plan. Basingstoke Starwrick Care is registered to support younger adults alongside older clients, which means asking how visits are timed around your own routine rather than the agency's round. It is fair to ask how carers are matched by interests and age, and how goals around independence are recorded and reviewed.
Physical Disability at Starwrick Care
Where a physical disability is involved, home care often centres on safe transfers, help with washing and dressing, and support that leaves the person in charge of decisions rather than done to. Basingstoke Starwrick Care is registered for this care type across the Basingstoke area. Ask what training carers have in moving and handling, how they work alongside any equipment already in the home such as hoists or profiling beds, and how they liaise with occupational therapy when needs change.
