Your Local Family Run Care Provider in St Helens Since 2012

About TogetherCare

About Us

 

TogetherCare is a family-run, community-anchored care provider delivering high-quality, person-centred support across the North West for over 13 years.

Founded in St Helens, we’ve built a trusted reputation for compassionate and dependable care rooted in local values. Our journey began with community-based care — enabling people to live independently and safely at home — and has grown to include specialist complex care and high-performing Extra Care schemes such as Heyeswood and Foundry Wharf.

Today, TogetherCare proudly delivers services across Community, Complex, and Extra Care settings.

Our Services

 

Community Care – Supporting Independence at Home

 

Our Community Care services form the foundation of TogetherCare. We support people to remain independent, safe, and well in their own homes, offering:

  • Personal care (washing, dressing, toileting)
  • Meal preparation and hydration monitoring
  • Medication prompting or administration
  • Support with mobility and falls prevention
  • Light domestic tasks
  • Emotional support and companionship
  • Shopping, appointments, and social access

We work closely with local authorities, GPs, and families to ensure care is personalised, flexible, and responsive — especially during key transitions like hospital discharge.

 

Complex Care – Tailored Support for High-Needs Individuals

 

We are specialists in supporting people with complex care needs, including:

  • Learning disabilities and autism
  • Mental health challenges and dual diagnosis
  • Behaviour that challenges
  • Palliative and end-of-life care
  • Brain injury, stroke recovery, and degenerative conditions
  • Safeguarded or at-risk individuals

Our trauma-informed approach ensures individuals receive consistent, safe, and compassionate care — often delivered in partnership with healthcare professionals and families.

 

Extra Care – Living Independently with the Right Support

 

TogetherCare delivers high-quality care in Extra Care environments, allowing individuals to live in their own self-contained flats with on-site support. We currently operate Heyeswood and Foundry Wharf.

Our Extra Care services include:

  • 24/7 on-site presence and emergency response
  • Support with daily living and personal care
  • Wellbeing checks and housing-related support
  • Social activities and engagement
  • Collaborative working with housing and healthcare partners

We bring community care values into structured Extra Care settings — helping tenants thrive, not just survive.

What Makes Us Different?

 

Unlike national care chains, TogetherCare is proudly independent and locally led. Our leadership team, based locally and remains hands-on in service development and delivery. This enables us to:

  • Respond quickly to changes in care needs
  • Maintain close partnerships with professional, local authorities and families
  • Ensure high visibility and consistent quality
  • Prioritise continuity, outcomes, and compassion
