Care service

Practical Support for Everyday Life at Home

Shopping, meals, light housework and getting out — the practical jobs that keep a home running.

Is this the right support?

Not everything that makes staying at home possible is personal care. Quite often the thing that tips the balance is far more mundane: the shopping has become too heavy, cooking a proper meal feels like too much, or the washing has quietly got on top of everything.

This page brings together the practical, everyday support we provide. It works on its own, and it works well combined with personal care or companionship in the same visit.

How we can help

  • Shopping — with you, for you, or help with an online order.
  • Meal preparation — cooking something proper, or preparing food for later.
  • Light domestic support — washing up, laundry, changing bedding, general tidying.
  • Prompts and reminders — appointments, medication, the things easily missed.
  • Getting out and about — a walk, the shops, a café, a change of scene.
  • Keeping on top of post and paperwork — practical, everyday help only.

For you and your family

What that means in practice

The difference this makes for the person receiving care — and for the family around them.

Small jobs, big difference

A full fridge, clean bedding and a hot meal do more for someone's week than most people expect. This is unglamorous work that genuinely helps.

It keeps independence going

Support with the heavy or awkward jobs often means someone can keep doing the rest themselves for much longer.

Combines neatly with other care

There is no need to book separate visits. One care call can cover personal care, a meal and a tidy-up if the time allows.

Being clear about what we do

To be clear about what this is and is not: this is light, everyday domestic support carried out as part of a care visit. It is not a deep-cleaning service, an end-of-tenancy clean, gardening, window cleaning, DIY or home maintenance.

Where getting out and about is involved, we will agree the practical arrangements — including transport and any costs such as fares or entrance fees — with you in advance. We do not operate a specialist transport service.

Local to you

Practical Everyday Support in Burton & Swadlincote

We deliver this service from our base at Bretby Business Park, which sits between Burton upon Trent and Swadlincote. In practice that means short journeys, a team that knows the local roads, and an office you could actually visit.

Coverage across the surrounding villages depends on where our team is working on a given day, so please ask us about your specific address rather than assuming either way.

Reviews

What families say

Given to Luxuricare directly

David HorneBurton upon Trent

“Lyndsey formed a lovely relationship with my Dad and was kind and supportive with my Mum despite Mums mood swings and increasing aggressive behaviour. She was always reassuring and kept me well informed, appreciating my difficulties following surgery and not living locally. Her professional manner helped me make difficult decisions when it became apparent my parents needs couldn’t be met in their home.

“I cant thank my dads amazing carers enough for all they do for him and my mum & the massive help they are to me. Today they have taken my dad on his birthday trip to Twycross zoo. he’s been so excited and is having the best time with them these ladies didn’t have to do this they wanted to because they care.”

IanBurton upon Trent

“The gentleman pictured is my uncle. It’s been a rough 12 months, diagnosed with Parkinson’s and lost his wife of 52 years in January. Lyndsey was introduced to myself and my uncle around 10 months ago and it’s difficult to put into words how positive her impact has been. It isn’t just ‘care’ but ‘caring’.

Questions about additional support services

Can you do the shopping without me?

Yes, that can be arranged as part of a visit, with the practical details — including how money is handled and receipts recorded — agreed in advance and written into the care plan.

Is this a cleaning service?

No. We help with light domestic tasks as part of a care visit — washing up, laundry, bedding, tidying. For deep cleaning you would want a dedicated cleaning company.

Can practical help be combined with personal care?

Yes, and usually it should be. What fits into a visit depends on the visit length, so a 45-minute or one-hour call gives more room than a shorter one.

How much does it cost?

The same published rates as all our care calls: £20 for 30 minutes, £27 for 45 minutes and £31.50 for an hour. See pricing.
