About Us

We at Meridian Health and Social Care Carlisle are proud to deliver compassionate home care across Carlisle and the surrounding communities of Cumberland, supporting people to live well and safely in the place they know best, their own home.

Operating throughout the CA postcode area, our team travels to people across the city and its neighbouring villages, bringing personalised support directly to the front door. Remaining at home, surrounded by familiar belongings, treasured photographs and the gentle rhythm of daily life, can be one of the most powerful contributors to wellbeing, and our care is designed around exactly that principle. Whether someone lives in a quiet suburban street, a rural cottage or a town centre flat, we shape our visits around their environment, routines and preferences.

Our specialisms reflect the diverse needs of the people we support. We provide older person care for those who simply need a little extra help to maintain their independence, alongside more comprehensive home care packages for individuals living with complex or changing needs. Our experience in dementia care means we understand the importance of consistency, gentle communication and familiar faces, helping to reduce anxiety and preserve a sense of self for those navigating memory loss. We also support adults living with mental health conditions, offering steady, non judgemental companionship and practical assistance that promotes stability and confidence.

For people with a physical disability, we focus on enabling independence wherever possible, assisting with mobility, personal care and the everyday tasks that make a house feel like a home. We support individuals with visual or hearing impairment by adapting our communication and ensuring the home environment remains safe, accessible and reassuring. Our work with younger adults recognises that care is not defined by age, and that every person deserves support which respects their goals, interests and aspirations.

In practice, this means families can expect care that is genuinely tailored. From help with washing, dressing and medication to preparing meals, supporting social outings or simply sharing a cup of tea and a conversation, our visits are built around the individual. For relatives, particularly those living at a distance, knowing that a trusted team is checking in regularly brings enormous peace of mind. We work closely with families, keeping them informed and involved, because good care is always a partnership.

Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in August 2022, awarded us an overall rating of Good. Inspectors rated us Good across the Safe, Effective, Caring and Responsive domains, reflecting the warmth, skill and reliability of our team. The Well led domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we take that feedback seriously, viewing it as a valuable opportunity to strengthen our leadership and governance so that the quality of care our clients already experience is matched by equally strong management behind the scenes.

If you are exploring home care options for a parent, partner or loved one in Carlisle, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing care is a deeply personal decision, and we are here to listen, answer your questions and help you understand what support might look like for your family. Whatever stage you are at in your search, you are welcome to reach out for a friendly, no pressure conversation.
