We set out to build the kind of service we would choose for our own mothers.

Most families who contact us are not looking for a care company. They are looking for someone they can trust — a person who will show up, pay attention, and genuinely care about what happens in that house.

We understand that. Because our founders have spent careers in nursing, watching what happens when care is done well — and what is lost when it is not.

Select Home Care Services is a small, independent, founder-led team with genuine roots in Sefton — and a genuine commitment to the families who live here.

The People Behind Every Promise

Founded by a senior carer and two registered nurses.
Built for families.

Three women with deep roots in nursing and care. They share a conviction that the most important ingredient in any care relationship is not a checklist — it is trust. And when you call, one of them will answer.

Anita, Senior Carer and Co-Founder
Anita
Senior Carer & Co-Founder

With years of hands-on care experience in residential and community settings, Anita brings practical knowledge and quiet authority to everything we do. A mother of eight, she understands family life from the inside — the weight of responsibility, the importance of trust, and what it means to invite someone into a home that matters. She personally oversees quality across all client relationships and holds to a simple belief: that dignity, patience and genuine warmth are not extras. They are the baseline.

Natalie, Registered Nurse and Co-Founder

Our Commitment

Seven things we commit to.
Without exception.

These are not aspirations. They are specific commitments we make to every client, from the very first visit — because families who are already worried deserve to know exactly what to expect before they decide.

If we ever fall short, we want to know. Directly. Without hesitation.

Honesty is Part of Our Service

We want to be completely clear about what we provide.

We are a home help and companionship service. We are not CQC-regulated. Being honest about our boundaries is something we are proud of, not something we hide.

If you need regulated personal care, we will always help you understand the right pathway — and point you towards trusted local providers.
