About

Sphere Specialist Healthcare is a home care agency in Ashington, Northumberland, providing care and support in people's own homes. Carly Fortune set it up in 2021, drawing on professionals from health and social care. Dementia is its main focus, and it also supports older people, younger adults, and people with physical disabilities, mental health needs or learning disabilities.

Support is shaped around each person's own needs and preferences rather than only the tasks required. The agency aims to help people stay independent, make their own choices and remain safe and well at home. The Care Quality Commission rated it Good overall in its 2024 report, with Good ratings across all five key questions.
