ABOUT ME

My name is Tanya, and until 2024 I worked for the NHS in a Specialist Older Persons Community Mental Health Team in Dorset. I was privileged to work within this service for 19 years.
I have predominantly worked with people over the age of 65 living with a range of physical and mental health conditions, with the aim of supporting people to live at home, despite the challenges they may face.
I have also worked with young adults with learning and physical disabilities in the private sector.
A move to Cornwall for my husband’s work encouraged me to take on a new challenge, and something I have wanted to do for a long time, run my own home care business.
And I do not take the privilege of supporting people to achieve their desired goals, whilst remaining independent at home lightly.

I have developed a vast range of skills and knowledge that I can apply to deliver a flexible person centered approach of care .
I have achieved excellent care qualifications and certificates of training, including an NVQ 3 in Health & Social Care.
I specialise in providing care for individuals living with dementia and other neurological conditions, such as progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) motor neurone disease (MND) and Parkinson’s disease, though not exclusively. I am passionate and committed to enabling my clients to live a rich and fulfilling life.
I aim to provide a friendly, personalised service by offering practical and emotional support that will improve the well-being of the people in my care and make their daily life a little bit easier.

VISION STATEMENT

To make compassionate, person-centered home care accessible to individuals who wish to live independently, safely, and with dignity in the comfort of their own home.

MISSION STATEMENT

My mission is to deliver exceptional, reliable and heartfelt care that nurtures both physical and emotional well-being. I aim to build genuine therapeutic relationships based on trust, empathy and respect. Supporting clients and their loved ones through every stage of their journey, with kindness and professionalism at the heart of all I do

MY CORE VALUES

I prioritise the well-being, comfort and individual needs of each person I care for. My aim is to ensure you or your loved one receives truly personalised care and support, provided with compassion and respect, in the familiar comfort of home.
My approach is built on empathy, reliability and genuine connection. I take the time to understand each person’s routines, preferences and values, because I believe great care is never just about completing tasks – It’s about building trust and understanding.
By working closely with individuals and their families, I create tailored care plans that adapt as needs change. Every aspect of the care I provide is delivered with dignity, kindness and a commitment to improving quality of life.

Tanya doesn’t just provide essential care—she brings comfort, reassurance, and a friendly presence that Mum looks forward to.
We feel very lucky to have found Tanya, and we can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a truly exceptional carer.” VC

Her kindness & her desire to ensure that my mother is having as many positive experiences in her life as possible is much appreciated by the whole family.
She has made a wonderful difference to our lives.” JB

(Daughter of client)

“Tanya is caring for our mum who has dementia and with Tanya’s help she will hopefully be able to remain in her own home for the foreseeable. Tanya is compassionate, intuitive and with such a wealth of experience with dementia we know that mum is in the best hands. We feel totally supported as a family by Tanya as she has this ability to understand our mum’s needs and our needs. I would recommend Tanya to anyone in need of a fantastic carer. A carer that actually cares and goes over and above.” SS

(Daughter of client)

“Tanya helps me to care for my husband who was diagnosed with MND 3 years ago. She is always reliable and punctual which certainly puts my mind at ease. Her care is exemplary, paying attention to every detail and treating Chris with respect. She has a cheerful, positive attitude and will always persevere with a problem in order to deliver the best care possible. I would recommend Tanya without hesitation, and we are so grateful to have her help at such a difficult period in our lives. I would certainly struggle mentally and physically to care for Chris on my own.” KS
