About
Ivy Homecare Limited is a home care agency that provides in-home senior care, helping older adults stay independent and comfortable in their own homes. Hourly visits offer a flexible option for people who need some help to keep living independently, and full-time support is available for those who need more. The agency also steps in to cover care so that family carers can take time for themselves.
The agency's care focus is dementia, and it supports a range of client groups, including older people, younger adults, people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, sensory impairments, learning disabilities and eating disorders. It is based in Portsmouth, and the Care Quality Commission rates it Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key questions (report published 2023).
