About Us
Independent Living – Caring for You at Home is a small, responsive, and respectful home care provider dedicated to delivering quality, person-centred support. Based in Derby, the team takes great pride in helping people live independently in the comfort of their own homes. Being surrounded by familiar surroundings, continuing with daily routines, and enjoying hobbies and interests all play a vital role in maintaining good mental health and overall wellbeing.
Independent Living understands that quality care takes time. That’s why short 15–30 minute visits are not offered. Instead, every visit lasts a minimum of one hour. This ensures that each individual receives the care and support they truly need. Once essential tasks are complete, Care Givers use the remaining time to provide companionship, conversation, and reassurance. Building meaningful relationships is at the heart of the service, as trust and human connection are just as important as practical care.
The dedicated team is not only experienced and flexible but also genuinely friendly and approachable. Each member of staff is carefully chosen through a thorough recruitment and selection process, giving clients and their loved ones confidence that care is delivered safely and to the highest standard. Support is always respectful, reliable, and tailored to the individual, ensuring every visit has real purpose and value.
With Independent Living, clients and those closest to them can be assured of compassionate, professional support that always places the individual at the centre of everything.
