A live in care introduction agency with NHS expertise

Unlike other live-in care agencies, Ivy Palmer was started by ex-NHS Directors who have a clear vision about what would make the best kind of home care.

As Clinicians, they were increasingly frustrated by sub-standard home care companies – they noticed that when people were discharged from hospital with care packages, patients would often end up being readmitted again and again trapped in a downward spiral of dependency, falling confidence and poor health. The response to was to always increase the home care package size and advise families that living at home was no longer possible and that a care home would now be the best place. As Clinicians they knew there was an alternative – live in care.
