Why Bright care is an award-winning care company

Our story

Tim and Louise Cocking established Bright Care in 2009 to deliver care at home to people in later years with an emphasis on companionship, meaningful relationships and two hour+ visit durations.  Many families prefer the freedom to choose and make their own arrangements for care rather than engage with local authorities or social services.  From the start the service was created with private, self funding families in mind.  

Their vision was clear, with the right foundations and resources in place, more people can live out their later years, with peace, security and purpose, in the comfort of their own home. They built a team of exceptional carers and staff to deliver later life care from just two hours a week to live in care.  Tim and Louise have cultivated a environment where every team member is valued, empowered and developed.  Working directly alongside families finding a domiciliary care company for those they love, Bright Care can strip away the complexities and frustrations associated with getting the right care in place. 

Over more than 15 years and with 11 local offices, Bright Care has firmly established itself as one of the top providers of exclusive and privately funded in-home care in the UK.

Our approach

As an award-winning domiciliary care company, Bright Care is proud to do things differently, focusing on the holistic needs of each client, we tailor our care packages to deliver the best care.

Our approach is unique, but simple:

  • We are set up for self-funding families. This means we can offer a fully bespoke and premium care company.
  • We journey alongside you. We believe care at home is best and, if your care needs change, we can develop and evolve the package. We provide a fully managed service. We are available 24/7 every day of the year giving full peace of mind.
  • We focus on relationships. We carefully match loved ones with our Bright Carers, and with visits from two hours or more, we place huge importance in nurturing genuine and meaningful relationships.
  • We are regulated. Our care is consistently graded at the highest levels by care regulators, so you can rest assured that your family will be well looked after by our team.
  • We are experts in elderly care. We believe caring for the elderly goes way beyond routine tasks. Our trusted care and companionship enable those you love to continue flourishing in later years.
  • We are specialists in providing care for those with Parkinson’s, MS, and people living with progressed dementia and Alzheimer’s, and we can work closely with you to deliver the right care.
  • We are not a domiciliary care agency. Therefore, all our Bright Carers are employed by us and are in receipt of competitive pay and benefits.
