Each of our Social Carers goes through a rigorous vetting and onboarding process to ensure they meet Like Family standards. This includes an online values test, a face-to-face interview, reference checks and a police check.
You can choose a Social Carer in your local area who best aligns with what you need. You’re able to decide what care you require and communicate your expectations right from the very beginning.
Our customer service team is committed to making your Like Family journey as simple as possible and helping you find the right fit for your needs. Whatever help you need, we’re here.
Our Social Carers visit private residences, nursing homes and residential care facilities.

And that’s just the beginning!
