Care for the conditions that ask the most of a family.
Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and end of life care — delivered at home, by carers we employ, train and have often known for years.
Specialist care isn’t a separate service we sell. It’s the same Gardiner’s care — hourly visits, overnight or live‑in — provided by carers with the training and the time to do it well.
The pages below explain how we approach the situations families most often ask us about.
Where we’re asked for most.
Choose the one that matches what you’re navigating — or call us and we’ll talk it through.
Familiar faces, in a familiar place.
Routine, continuity and gentle prompting from carers who get to know the person, not just the diagnosis. From a few visits a week to live‑in support, in the home they already know.
Alzheimer's care at home
Medication on time, every time.
Precise medication timing, mobility support and the patience required for a condition that changes hour by hour. Carers who understand “on” and “off” periods and adjust without fuss.
Parkinson's care at home
Calm, dignified, at home.
Working alongside hospice and district nurse teams to keep someone comfortable in their own bed, surrounded by their own things. Continuity of carer matters most here — and we plan for it.
End of life care at home
A proper break, with your mind at rest.
Planned or short‑notice cover so family carers can rest, recover or get away — a few hours, a week or a fortnight, with a familiar face stepping in at home.
Respite care at home
Get home safely, and recover well.
Support after a hospital stay — from the day you get home through the first days and weeks of recovery, with visiting, overnight or live‑in care.
Hospital discharge care at homeThe bits that actually matter.
Specialist care lives or dies on continuity, training and time. We’ve built the business around all three.
- 01
Carers who stay.
Our carers stay an average of eight years. For someone with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, that continuity isn’t a nice‑to‑have — it’s the thing that makes the care work.
- 02
Properly trained.
Specialist training in dementia, Parkinson’s and end of life care — refreshed, not ticked off once. Our carers know what to look for and when to call.
- 03
An hour, at minimum.
No fifteen‑ or thirty‑minute visits. Specialist care needs time — for medication, for mealtimes, for the human bits in between.
- 04
Working with the team around you.
District nurses, hospice teams, GPs, occupational therapists. We’re used to being part of a wider team, and we keep notes that other professionals can actually use.
