About
Carelife is a home care agency based in Southampton, Hampshire, providing care and support in people's own homes. It focuses on dementia and supports older people, younger adults, people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, sensory impairments and learning disabilities. Each care plan is shaped around the individual's needs, preferences and goals, and the person receiving support helps decide how their care is delivered.

The team works alongside carers, nurses, therapists and families. The Care Quality Commission rates Carelife Good overall, with Good ratings for effective, caring, responsive and well-led care, and Requires Improvement for safe.
