About Ivy Care Services

Ivy Care provides support to people in their own homes in Pontefract and across the Wakefield area. Home care works best when it is reliable, unhurried and delivered by people you recognise, and that is what we set out to offer. Most of the people we visit are older adults. We help with washing and dressing, with medication, with preparing meals and with the practical tasks that have quietly become harder to manage alone. We support people living with dementia, where the most useful thing we can do is send familiar carers at familiar times so that a visit feels like company rather than an interruption. We also support younger adults, where our role is generally to back somebody's independence rather than to manage it for them. We agree each plan with the person at the start, write it down together and review it as things change, particularly after a spell in hospital. Some households want one short visit a day, others need several calls, and we would rather adjust an arrangement properly than let it drift out of date. Our carers are checked before they begin, trained for the work they do and supported by senior staff who can be reached when questions come up. We keep families informed and raise concerns promptly. If you are considering care at home in the Pontefract area, please get in touch. We are glad to visit and talk things through with no obligation.
