What Families Need to Know

Choosing the Right Home Care in Garstang, Over Wyre & Lancaster
When a loved one begins to need a little extra help at home, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out where to start. At Unique Homecare, we speak to families across Garstang, Over Wyre, and Lancaster every week who are facing this very situation.
Whether it’s for dementia care, personal care, or just a friendly face and support with daily tasks, the most important thing is finding care that’s right for your family—and delivered with consistency, compassion, and respect.
Here’s what you need to know when looking for home care in your area.
1. Choose Local, Trusted Providers
It’s important to find a provider who knows your area—and who can be there when you need them. At Unique Homecare, we’re proud to be an independent, Lancashire-based company offering home care support in:

• Garstang and surrounding villages
• Over Wyre – including Stalmine, Preesall, and Knott End
• Lancaster, Ellel, Galgate, and rural areas
  Because we’re local, you’ll always deal with a real person who knows your name—not a call centre.
  2. Look for Continuity of Care
  We’ve heard from many families that one of the most frustrating things is seeing a different carer every week. At Unique Homecare, we build small, dedicated care teams around each client. That means your loved one gets to know familiar, friendly faces—and carers understand routines, preferences, and what really matters to you.
  3. Personalised Plans That Fit Your Life
  No two people are the same—and care shouldn’t be either. We work with you to build a personal care plan that reflects your or your loved one’s needs, from short daily visits to more complex support. We also offer:
• Private home care packages
• Dementia and memory care
• End-of-life and palliative care
• Companionship and social support
  4. Clear Costs and Flexible Options
  If you’re self-funding care, we offer clear pricing, affordable private packages, and guidance to help you understand what you’re paying for. We believe in being upfront—no hidden fees, and no minimum hours that don’t suit your needs.
  5. Care You Can Trust
  We’re proud to say many of our carers have been with us for years. They’re fully trained, DBS checked, and genuinely passionate about making a difference. It’s why we’ve built a reputation for reliable, compassionate care across our communities.
  Need Help Deciding?
  We understand that arranging care can be an emotional and difficult step. That’s why we offer a free, no-obligation care assessment to talk through your needs, answer your questions, and help you understand what’s available.
