Why South Essex Families Choose Oath
We’re based in Canvey Island, regulated locally, and answer the phone ourselves — not through a national call centre.
One dedicated carer
Not a rotating roster. Your loved one builds a relationship with one or two consistent carers — which matters most for dementia.
CQC-regulated & DBS-checked
Every carer is fully vetted, trained to QCF standards, and works under our CQC-regulated provider registration.
South Essex-based coordinator
Our senior coordinator lives and works locally. They visit you, know your area, and your carer — not a faceless head office.
10-minute callback
Call us once and a senior coordinator rings you back within 10 minutes during office hours.

From your first call to a carer in the home — typically within 7 days.

Common Questions from South Essex Families
How quickly can live-in care start?
Most families start within 7 days. In urgent cases (hospital discharge from Basildon Hospital, Southend Hospital and Broomfield Hospital, sudden illness), we’ve started care within 48 hours.
What happens when my carer needs a break?
Live-in carers work in rotations — typically 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. We always introduce the relief carer to your loved one before the handover.
How does the pricing work?
The weekly price covers carer’s time, training, supervision, and coordinator visits. Family provides accommodation and food. No agency fees.
Do you do trial periods?
Yes. Most families start with a 4-week placement. If it isn’t the right fit, we’ll match a different carer at no penalty.
Can we get help paying?
Possibly. Castle Point Borough Council and Essex County Council Direct Payments, NHS Continuing Healthcare, Attendance Allowance (£300–£480/month), and Section 117 funding can all contribute.
