Unique Senior Care in Leamington Spa
The beautiful and vibrant town of Leamington Spa is a treasure trove of things to see and do, but for anyone that is vulnerable, or needs a little extra support it can be difficult to get out and about to enjoy all that Leamington Spa has to offer.
That is exactly where we at Unique Senior Care come in, our Leamington Spa team provides uniquely tailored relationship based home care services that we can shape to match you and your lifestyle.
From companionship, domiciliary care and home help, to live-in care and anything in between. It doesn’t matter how simple or complex the requirements are, we care for each person with respect, dignity and compassion, so that you can live happily and independently in the comfort of your own home.
Our team of directly employed compassionate carers are highly qualified, trained and fully DBS checked and have the hands-on experience to provide you or your loved one with quality, specialist home care services including one-to-one live-in care, daily visiting care calls, respite, overnight care or specialist dementia care and palliative care.
Unique Senior Care was set up by Philip Wright-Howarth and Philip Maundrill, because of their very unique personal experiences.
Both had taken care of loved ones that had needed specialist care, and together they wanted to create a very unique and personal home care service that ensured that the health, welfare and wellbeing of the people that they supported was put above all else.
We are on hand to support you with the simple things that make life a little easier, like preparing meals, cleaning, popping the bins out, helping you get up and moving around - as well as accompanying you to get out and about socialising in your local area.
Whether that's a dinner & dance at the village hall, knit and natter at the local dementia café, or tea and cake with a friend!

What makes us different?
In case of emergencies, we operate an out-of-hours on-call service
We turn up on time – every time.
We never send a stranger and as far as possible, we try to send the same person.
We do not believe that quality care can be provided in fifteen minute or half an hour slots – so with us it is a minimum of an hour.
Our Live In service is focused on ensuring that our clients can continue to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
Our staff do not wear uniforms, so to everyone else, they just look like family or friends who are visiting or taking our clients out.
We are very proud of our reputation for providing an outstanding service and we will never compromise our standards.

Services we offer in the Leamington Spa area:
Hourly care
Our homecare visits can be anything from just an hour a day, to a few calls throughout the week or longer visits should your loved one need a little company - we also provide waking and sleeping nights for any concerns that you may have around leaving your loved one alone at night.
So, whether you need a care call each day to help with washing and dressing, a lunch time call, a little help with household chores, or if your loved one has more complex needs such as Dementia, Parkinson’s or they’ve had a stroke, we’re on hand day and night to help.
Our care packages are specifically tailored to fit in with your loved ones personal and lifestyle needs, we work closely with our families to put together a Unique Senior Care plan that will fulfill their lifestyle choices, needs and unique personality.
Live-in and 24 hour Care
If your loved one has reached a certain point in their life, where a little more care and support is needed, it shouldn’t be (and isn’t) the only choice to place them into nursing or residential care. You and your family have options.
With our dedicated, fully managed live-in care service, our Manager Nikki and her team are able to support your loved one around-the-clock, to live comfortably and confidently at home.
Your live-in carer will be there to focus on their needs, getting to know you and your loved ones’ routine, so that they can remain as independent as possible, but with comfort and support on hand when it is needed most of all.
By selecting Unique Senior Live-in Care, you don't need to worry about a thing! We’ll take care of carer pay, holiday or sickness cover, or any of the day-to-day niggles. What’s more it can be a really cost-effective alternative to a residential care or nursing home, especially for a couple needing support together.
Why not call our expert team today and find out how our live-in carers can help you and your family?
Whatever help and support you think you require, give us a call, we’re here to help. Call us on 01926 629030.
What is the Cost of Hourly Care?
At Unique Senior Care, we're dedicated to providing exceptional care with clear and simple pricing.
Below, you’ll find the rates for our hourly care services. We believe in transparency, so there are no hidden fees like VAT or travel time for our visits.
Hourly Care and Support Services:
Weekdays:
- From 8am to 8pm: £39.00 per hour
- From 8pm to 8am: £40.00 per hour
Weekends:
- From 8am to 8pm: £41.00 per hour
- From 8pm to 8am: £42.00 per hour
These rates ensure that you’re always in good hands, with Caregivers who know your needs and are dedicated to making your day a little easier.
Reduced Rate for Off-Peak Companionship Support or Respite:
Sometimes you might need a little bit of friendly company during the day to pop out to the shops or give family members a rest.
During our quieter times, between 10am and 4pm, we offer a special discounted rate for companionship calls.
This is currently charged at £70 for a 2½ hour visit and is a great way to get the support you need when our team is more readily available.
Sleepover Services:
Need some peace of mind throughout the night? Our sleepover service is available from 10pm to 7am at £275.00 per night. This ensures you have the reassuring presence of a Caregiver at home with you in case you require any extra support.
However, to ensure the safety and wellbeing of both you and them, your Caregiver must get at least four hours of continuous sleep. If not, the hourly rate will apply for the full shift.
Mileage:
Many of our clients love getting out and about with their Caregiver, whether it's visiting friends, nipping for cake and a cup of tea, or a routine hospital appointment. Our Caregivers are all fully insured to take you out safely wherever you need to go. For services that involve travel in the car, we charge 50p per mile.
Bank Holidays:
Our Caregivers work hard, even on holidays. To reflect their dedication, we like to ensure they are fully compensated, so on these days, our rates are charged at double the hourly rate.
Additional Costs
Our fees cover the cost of our care and support services. If you’d like to enjoy hobbies or outings with your Caregiver, we’re delighted to help make these activities happen.
However, any extra costs during these trips, such as coffees, meals, show tickets, or public transport fares, will need to be covered by you. This way, your Caregiver can join in fully, ensuring your outings are as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.
Homecare Visits in and around Leamington Spa & Warwick
Home Help
If your loved one isn’t quite ready for full time or visiting care, but they are showing signs of needing a little more help around the house, we’re on hand to lighten the load with our domestic household services, so if a little vacuuming, dusting, cleaning, shopping or simply a little spring clean every now and again will help, our friendly team can provide a little domestic assistance to keep your home in tip-top condition.
Companionship
It may even be that your loved one will benefit from a few visits a week for social calls or companionship, or you have a family event or occasion that requires a little more support - someone to be on hand throughout the event so you can relax and enjoy the occasion too.
Personal Care
Here at Unique Senior Care, we believe that by supporting older people to remain in their own home, we can enable them to live more fulfilling lives. This includes providing support with day-to-day tasks like getting dressed, washing and remembering to take the correct medication. We are here to provide assistance as and when required.
We recognise that personal care is just that: it’s personal. That’s why our care packages are always tailored to meet the needs of the individual.
Dementia Care
Recognising that there are changes in your loved ones demeanor, behaviour and suspecting the onset of dementia, can be worrisome, devastating, life changing for both you and life altering for your loved one.
That’s where we come in, our fully dementia trained live-in and visiting hourly carers will work alongside you, your family, GP, District Nurse and health support team to ensure that there is consistency in care, routine and any behavioural changes are noted and the care plan is adjusted accordingly.
Respite Care
Here at Unique Senior Care we understand the challenges, and heartbreak that being a main carer can bring. Respite home care can be provided for you and your family, offering temporary support and relief to enable you to take a short break from the demands of providing care for a loved one.
Respite care can be as simple as giving you back an hour a day, a few hours in the afternoon, a stint sleeping overnight so that you can go home for some rest, or to provide full-time live-in cover for a week or two. You decide what you need and we’ll be on hand to help.
Palliative/end of life care
We fully understand that when faced with the impending need for palliative or end of life care, it can be an incredibly distressing, emotional and fraught time for families. We at Unique Senior Care are here to provide that specialist support and help when you need it most!
Our compassionate carers are kind, discrete, patient, and will provide daily, one-to-one care and support, whether that's help administering medication, preparing meals, cleaning or simply doing the washing up. We want you and your loved to spend time together making the most of each moment and we will work alongside your doctor and health care team, hospices, support groups and district nurses to ensure that we offer a joined up care plan with the right level of home care for your loved one, their personal circumstances and your family.
Specialist Care
We offer a range of fully managed, person-centred, live-in and domiciliary care options for people living with complex needs; such as Dementia, Alzheimers, Stroke, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s.
Your loved one may have a specialist need but that doesn’t mean that they can’t remain independent at home. Our expert live-in and visiting home carers can provide specialist support at home, so that there isn’t the need to move into a residential setting or nursing home.
