About Us

**Welcome to Gardiner’s Home Care Services – Caversham, Reading**

Since 1968 Gardiner's Homecare has been dedicated to providing exceptional homecare, establishing ourselves as the the leading provider in Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. As an independent, family-run agency our core values of compassion and reliability have remained steadfast for over 57 years.

We are driven by our commitment to excellence in care. Our compassionate team consists entirely of local carers who've been with us for nearly a decade on average—creating meaningful relationships that provide not just consistency, but genuine companionship throughout your care journey.

The qualities that set us apart are:

Our Unrivalled Reputation: We are consistently recognised as the top-rated care provider in the Reading area, a testament to the hundreds of heartfelt testimonials from the families we've had the privilege to support.

Our Exceptional Care Team: We have meticulously built a team of highly qualified, deeply compassionate, and truly committed care professionals from our local community. By valuing their dedication with industry-leading compensation and benefits, we attract and retain the best carers.

Our Personal Connection: We understand the importance of connection in great care. We assign a regular carer to each visit so you always know who's coming, and with a minimum 1 hour visit time our carers develop real relationships and trust with your family.

Gardiner’s is a trusted provider of compassionate and professional domiciliary care in the Caversham area of Reading. With a ‘Good’ rating awarded by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), we are dedicated to delivering high standards of personalised care while supporting independent living within the comfort of your own home.

Our wide range of services includes hourly visits starting from £39.50, as well as live-in and overnight care. We are experienced in supporting adults aged 18 and over with diverse needs, including dementia, cancer, palliative care, complex conditions, learning disabilities, mental health challenges, and physical or sensory impairments. From personal care and medication assistance to escorted trips, companionship, and rehabilitation, we ensure every aspect of daily living is taken care of with dignity and respect.

Gardiner’s proudly supports both private (self-funding) and NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) clients. Whether you require ongoing care, respite, or temporary support following illness or surgery, our qualified carers are here to help. We offer flexible visits, male or female carers, double-up care, cultural support, dietary care, and pet-friendly services, ensuring personal preferences and routines are always respected.

Our team understands the importance of familiarity and continuity; we strive to match carers with clients for optimal comfort and peace of mind. At Gardiner’s, we believe in creating a nurturing environment where you or your loved one can thrive.
