University & Academic Support

University, Academic Support & Personal Care

Studying is stressful enough as it is, disabled or not. Since 2007, we’ve helped and provided care assistants to undergraduates and postgraduate students who have a wide variety of care needs and requirements including personal care and academic support, helping making their studies that little bit easier.

How can we help?

Working in partnership Student Service Disability Teams at De Montfort University and Leicester University, we help disabled and in-need university students in a wide variety of ways. From assisting with social outings, shopping and even note-taking during classes, we can also provide help with:

• Mobility support
• Personal care 
• Tuition, study skills, exams & library support
• Attending meetings & classes
• Mentoring 
• Domestic help

Hourly care is also available in 4 hour blocks for cost-effective care options.

Hourly care

What is hourly care support? 

Often enough, our customers won’t be in need of full-time care depending on their circumstances, the amount of care they require, if families are also available to help and their situation overall. 

When constant care isn’t required, we offer care hourly care packages at cost-effective rates for people across the UK, in the comfortable surroundings of their own homes, with specialist care assistants on hand who’re available to ‘top-up’ any current care support or provide supplementary assistance.

If an individual is semi-independent but requires help from time-to-time, hourly care can be of great additional help for the tasks, duties or situations when it’s harder to be alone. That could be going out shopping, meal preparation, tasks around the home, personal care, as companionship a few times a week or even as temporary stand-in if a regular carer is away. We also have trained staff to assist with more complex cases. 

How does it work?

Our care assistants, support workers and nursing staff work with each customer to compile a bespoke, highly-personalised care programme for the periods during which they’re needed while still helping to maintain a client’s independence and choice. 

We provide flexible hourly care services, both during the day and night time, whereby customers are able to pay for care services as required. Hourly care options are available as a regular service or on an ad hoc, once-off basis.
