DESCRIPTION

Holm Care is a new kind of elderly homecare and live-in care service helping connect you directly to skilled elderly care workers in the Manchester area. We’re not a home care agency and don’t charge you like an agency. Instead, you can tailor support to meet your unique needs. Unlike some care agencies, we focus on attracting excellent and experienced carers. We rigorously vet all professional carers who wish to join us. Our final question is: “Are they good enough to look after our parents?” Only if carers pass our tests, and this all-important final question, are they available for you to book. That’s why only the top 1% of professional carers are available on Holm. We help the elderly and their families with Live-In Care and Home Care in Manchester https://holm.care
