Care in the South West

What is different about running a service here

In the South West, distance is part of the business model. Rural areas and long travel times shape what domiciliary, live-in and supported living services cost to run, and councils from Cornwall to Gloucestershire buy those services in different ways. We help you work out who is likely to pay for your service, and on what terms, before you build around them.

We work across the region on Zoom, and in person when the work needs it. Travel for in-person work is charged at 55p a mile, and the amount is shown on your quote.
