Your Home, Our Care: Why Over 70% of Our Carers Are Ex-Nurses
At U&I Care, the foundation of our service is simple: your home, our care. And at the heart of that care are our carers—compassionate professionals, many of whom bring a wealth of clinical experience to every home they support.
In fact, over 70% of our carers are ex-nurses or have strong nursing backgrounds. This statistic is more than just a number—it’s a reassurance. It means the care your loved one receives is underpinned by medical understanding, clinical precision, and above all, heartfelt empathy.
Why Does a Nursing Background Matter in Home Care?
Live-in care should feel personal yet professional. Carers with nursing backgrounds are uniquely placed to provide this balance. They bring not just skills in medication management, wound care, and mobility assistance, but also a calm, confident presence that only clinical training can instil.
When challenges arise—be it with dementia progression, recovery after hospital discharge, or long-term conditions like Parkinson’s—these carers respond not with guesswork, but with knowledge, experience, and a depth of understanding that fosters peace of mind.
Nurses Who’ve Chosen to Care Differently
Many of our carers have stepped away from clinical settings to embrace the one-on-one nature of home care. They’ve chosen connection over routine, continuity over shifts. This shift often stems from a desire to build real relationships and make a sustained impact on someone’s life.
Their nursing ethos remains central: dignity, safety, wellbeing. But now, it flourishes in a familiar home environment, free from the constraints of busy wards and time-limited interactions.
Our Philosophy: Your Home, Our Care
This isn’t just a tagline—it’s a commitment. At U&I Care, we don’t ask clients to adapt to our service. We adapt our service to their life, their home, their preferences.
Our carers become part of your everyday. They learn your routines, respect your values, and encourage independence wherever possible. And when over 70% of them have a background in nursing, you’re not just getting care—you’re gaining trusted clinical insight in your own living room.
The Comfort of Clinical Confidence
From managing medication and recognising early signs of illness, to supporting hospital transitions and coordinating with GPs, our carers bring more than just practical help. They bring reassurance.
And because our team is supported by ongoing training and clinical oversight, you can trust that even as your needs evolve, our care remains responsive, knowledgeable, and deeply personal. Contact us for clinical care within your home.
Your home is your sanctuary. Our care helps it stay that way.
