About Us

At Umuzi Healthcare Agency, we provide home care support to people living in Thornton Heath, Croydon and the surrounding area. We work with older adults, younger adults, and people living with dementia or a physical disability, helping them to live comfortably and independently in their own homes.

We understand that inviting someone into your home is a significant decision, and we take that trust seriously. Our team works closely with individuals and their families to build care arrangements that genuinely reflect how each person wants to live their life. We take the time to listen, to understand routines and preferences, and to make sure the support we provide fits around the person rather than the other way around.

Dementia care is one of the areas where we put particular thought and care into our approach. We know how much consistency and familiarity matter for someone living with dementia, and we aim to provide that stability through the people we send and the way we communicate with families throughout.

For people living with a physical disability, whether they are older or younger adults, we focus on supporting independence wherever possible. We do not take a one size fits all approach. Some people want a great deal of hands on support, while others simply need a little assistance with specific tasks. We try to get that balance right from the outset, and to adjust as circumstances change.

We are based in Thornton Heath and are proud to be part of this community. Whether you are looking for regular ongoing support or are just beginning to explore your options, we are happy to have a conversation about what might work for you or your loved one. There is no pressure and no obligation, just a straightforward and honest discussion about how we can help.

More about the care at Umuzi Healthcare Agency Ltd

What each type of care involves, and the questions worth asking when you call or visit.

Older Person Care

The point of arranging care at home for an older person is that nothing else has to change, since the house, the neighbours and the routine all stay put. Umuzi Healthcare Agency in Thornton Heath is registered to provide personal care on that basis, covering washing, dressing, medication prompts, meals and companionship. The agency has no published inspection rating yet, so ask about staff training, supervision and references, and speak to existing clients if you can. Ask what each visit covers, how long carers stay and whether the same faces come back week to week. Early mornings and bedtimes are the hardest slots to fill, so check those before agreeing a plan. London rates usually fall between £30 and £36 an hour, and Croydon can assess for funded support.

Dementia

Keeping someone with dementia at home works for as long as the support around them is consistent and the risks are honestly reviewed. Umuzi Healthcare Agency is registered for dementia care, which tells you the scope of its permission rather than how its carers behave. Ask how many different people would visit in a month, since familiarity is the whole advantage of staying at home. Ask what carers are trained to do when help is refused, when food is left untouched, or when someone has gone out alone. It is worth asking too how the agency keeps family informed and when it would say the arrangement is no longer safe.

Physical Disability

Getting washed, dressed and out of the house depends on equipment that fits and carers trained to use it properly. Umuzi Healthcare Agency is registered to support adults with a physical disability at home. Ask whether staff know the particular hoist or sling in use, whether two carers attend for transfers, and how the agency works with an occupational therapist on adaptations.

Younger Adults

A care plan written for a retired person will not fit someone who is employed, studying or raising children. Umuzi Healthcare Agency is registered to work with adults under sixty five, so ask how visit times flex around real commitments. Ask as well how carers are matched and what support exists for getting out and about independently.
