The Right Homecare for You or Your Loved One
Making the decision to seek homecare support for yourself or someone close to you can be both emotional and daunting. With so many options available, how do you find care that is reliable, compassionate, and truly tailored to individual needs?
At St Margaret’s Homecare, we understand how important it is to get this decision right. Whether you’re exploring care for the first time or looking to improve an existing arrangement, we’re here to help guide you every step of the way. Our services are trusted across Harrogate, Selby, Ripon, York, and all nearby areas — and we’ve been doing this with pride for over 37 years.

Why Homecare Might Be the Best Choice
Choosing homecare is about more than simply arranging practical support. It’s about preserving dignity, maintaining independence, and continuing to live in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
For many individuals, especially older adults or those with long-term health needs, remaining at home is a top priority. Homecare offers the opportunity to stay in the place you know and love, surrounded by memories, belongings, and routines that bring comfort and stability.
Whether it’s a few hours a week for companionship or full-time, specialist care, the right homecare for you or your loved one can make all the difference.

A Service Built Around You
At St Margaret’s Homecare, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach. Every person is unique — and so are their care needs.
That’s why we start every journey with a free, no-obligation assessment. We take the time to listen, understand your lifestyle and health circumstances, and work closely with you to create a personalised care plan.
Our goal is simple: to support you or your loved one in living as independently, safely, and happily as possible at home.
What We Offer: Tailored Care with Compassion
Our care services are designed to suit people at different stages of life, offering as much or as little support as needed. Here’s a look at what we provide:
• Personal Care: Help with everyday tasks like washing, dressing, and mobility to support daily routines.
• Companionship: A friendly face to brighten your day — whether it’s a chat, a walk, or simply sharing a cuppa.
• Dementia Support: Specialist care for people living with dementia, focusing on comfort, reassurance, and familiar routines.
• Respite Care: Giving family carers the chance to rest, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
• Live-In Care: Around-the-clock support for individuals needing continuous assistance at home.
• Palliative & End-of-Life Care: Sensitive, dignified support to help manage complex needs and bring comfort during difficult times.
All of our carers are trained professionals with a real passion for making a difference. Many have been part of the St Margaret’s team for more than a decade, offering continuity and familiarity to the people they support.
