About TogetherCare
Care with local roots and a personal reason behind it
TogetherCare is a family-run, community-anchored care provider founded in St Helens. We began by helping people remain safe and independent in their own homes, and we have grown carefully to meet a wider range of needs.
Today, we provide community care, specialist complex care and support within our Extra Care schemes at Heyeswood and Foundry Wharf. Although our services have developed, the principle behind them has stayed the same: listen properly, treat people with dignity and do what we say we will do.

Mick and Mike Burke
A family story that became TogetherCare
After caring for his mum and dad for several years, Michael Snr, known as Mick, wanted to carry that experience forward and create a care company in memory of his mother, Margaret Burke.
Mick is a former international rugby player who represented Widnes Vikings and Great Britain. The teamwork, resilience and loyalty that shaped his sporting life also became part of the character of TogetherCare.
Michael Jr studied business, marketing and management while regularly returning home to help care for his grandparents. He brought that experience and his professional skills into the company, helping TogetherCare grow while remaining locally led.
TogetherCare was built from care experienced first-hand.

Feedback from families and professionals
We struck gold when your company became the provider at Heyeswood. You enabled my dad to return home and supported him with dignity in his final days. The team went above and beyond.
Your staff have been amazing with our service user. She always keeps us in the loop and works in full partnership with our team. The service user praises her and your service highly.
