What Is Private Home Care?
Private care means you arrange and fund your own support directly — no waiting lists, no council assessments, no compromise on who provides your care.
⏳
Care starts quickly
No waiting for a council assessment. Once we’ve completed a free care assessment with you, care can typically begin within 24–48 hours for urgent cases.
🌟
You choose your carer
We match you with a small, consistent team of 2–3 carers suited to your needs, personality, and preferences. Familiar faces — not a different person every visit.
📋
Fully bespoke care plan
Your care plan is built entirely around you — your routine, your preferences, your goals. We adapt as your needs change, with no rigid packages.

Why Cambridge Families Choose Oath Healthcare
You’re not choosing a service. You’re choosing the people who walk into your parent’s home. That decision deserves more than a generic “compassionate care” pitch.
👥
The same carers, every visit
The biggest complaint families have is rotating strangers. We build small, consistent teams of 2–3 carers per client. Your parent won’t meet a new face every Tuesday — continuity is non-negotiable here.
☎
A named Care Coordinator at the end of the phone
Every private client gets a dedicated Care Coordinator who knows your case inside-out. Not a call centre. Not a ticket number. A real person you can reach directly when something changes.
💾
Rigorous vetting — beyond just DBS
Every carer passes enhanced DBS, reference checks, face-to-face interviews, shadow shifts, and ongoing training in dementia care, medication management, manual handling, and safeguarding.
⚡
Urgent starts within 24–48 hours
Council-funded providers have weeks-long waiting lists. For private clients, we can often begin care within 24–48 hours of your first call — especially for hospital discharge from Addenbrooke’s or Royal Papworth.
⚖
Power of Attorney and solicitor-friendly
We work regularly with attorneys under Lasting Power of Attorney (health & welfare / property & financial affairs) and court-appointed deputies. Happy to liaise directly with your solicitor or IFA.
📄
Transparent, written pricing
No hidden weekend surcharges. No surprise invoice increases. Every quote is written, fixed, and explained. Any change to your care requires your written approval — never ours.

What Happens When You Call
The hardest part is making the first call. Here’s exactly what to expect — no pressure, no sales pitch.
1
Initial call (15 minutes)
Tell us what’s happening. We’ll listen, ask a few questions, and confirm whether we’re the right fit. If we’re not, we’ll tell you so — and often recommend someone who is.
2
Free home assessment (1 hour)
A senior Care Coordinator visits your parent at home — ideally with the family present — to understand needs, routines, preferences, and any medical requirements. Always free, always no-obligation.
3
Written care plan and transparent quote
Within 24 hours of the assessment, you receive a detailed written care plan and a fixed, line-itemised quote. You get to review and approve everything before anything starts.
4
Carer matching and introduction
We match carers based on personality, interests, and specific care needs. You meet them before care begins — no strangers turning up on day one.
5
Care begins and we check in
For urgent cases, within 24–48 hours of your first call. You get a named Care Coordinator, weekly check-ins for the first month, and a direct line for anything that comes up.
Request a Callback
The fastest way to discuss private home care. Leave your name and number — a senior coordinator will call back within 10 minutes during office hours.
