For care providers we supply qualified nurses, carers and support workers, drawing on more than ten years of experience matching the right people to the right settings.

Local knowledge across Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes is a young city built around a distinctive grid road system, yet it grew up around much older towns and villages that still have their own character. We arrange care right across those communities, from Bletchley and Fenny Stratford in the south to Wolverton, Stony Stratford and Newport Pagnell in the north, through the newer estates around Great Linford, Shenley and Broughton, and into Central Milton Keynes around centre:mk and the MK9 postcode. Getting around a city of grid roads and roundabouts is second nature to us when we plan reliable visiting schedules.
We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Milton Keynes University Hospital in the Eaglestone area, part of Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which serves the whole city and reaches into neighbouring Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams. Whether home is a flat near the shopping centre, a house in Woburn Sands or a village on the edge of town toward Bletchley Park, we shape the support around the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service.
Adult social care in the city is overseen by Milton Keynes City Council, the unitary authority for the area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
