A guide for families in Southport who have started to wonder whether someone they love could benefit from a little extra help at home. Written honestly, without pressure, from experience.
Southport is a town that knows how to take its time. The long boulevard of Lord Street with its Victorian canopied arcades. Hesketh Park on a quiet Tuesday morning. The particular pleasure of the seafront in any season. These are not things people leave easily — and most older residents have no intention of leaving them at all.
Select Home Care Services provides home help and companionship in Southport — meals, shopping, housekeeping, appointments and company — at a standard rate of £33 per hour.
Our free guides answer the questions most families ask first.
Southport has a quality that is distinct from the places around it. It is a proper town with genuine civic character — the grand canopied length of Lord Street, the Victorian parks, Churchtown’s older village feel tucked away behind the busier centre, the pier stretching out towards a horizon that has looked the same for generations.
Southport is our largest area, from the town centre and Lord Street to the villages to the north. Practical help here often means getting to appointments at local GP surgeries or Southport & Formby District General Hospital in Kew, help with shopping in town, meals prepared at home, and regular company. If your helper drives you, mileage is charged as shown on our Pricing page.
We cover Southport town centre, Lord Street, Hesketh Park, Churchtown, Marshside and Blowick within PR8 and PR9. If you are unsure whether your area falls within our coverage, please call us and we will confirm immediately.
Select Home Care Services was founded by senior carer Anita and registered nurses Natalie and Nicola. We provide home help and companionship. We are not CQC registered, and we do not provide personal care, nursing or medical treatment, or give medication — if that kind of help is needed, we will say so and point you to the right service.

See All QuestionsThe first call is simply a conversation, with no obligation. We will listen carefully, ask the right questions, and give you an honest view of whether home help is likely to make a difference. If you go ahead, we visit to talk through what would help and agree everything in a simple written agreement.
Some families call having thought about it for a single day. Others have been sitting with the question for months. There is no wrong time to have the conversation.
If we are not the right fit, we will say so clearly — and do what we can to point you in the right direction.
