Who We Are

Health and Independence Care is a Croydon-based home support service focused on helping adults remain safe, independent, socially connected, and supported in their own homes.

The service was created with a simple belief: independence, dignity, and meaningful human connection are essential to wellbeing.

We understand that every person’s needs are different. Some people may require companionship and wellbeing support, while others may benefit from personal care and practical day-to-day assistance delivered with dignity, respect, and compassion.

Health and Independence Care aims to provide reliable and respectful support that helps people continue living comfortably and confidently in their own homes.

Our Mission

Our mission is to support adults in living safely, comfortably, and independently within their own homes and communities.

We aim to provide compassionate personal care, wellbeing support, and practical day-to-day assistance tailored to each individual’s needs, preferences, and routines.

We believe good support is built on dignity, trust, kindness, and genuine human connection. Our focus is not only on providing assistance, but on helping people feel respected, valued, and confident in everyday life.

• Respect: Every individual is treated with dignity, respect and support for their independence and personal choices.

• Connection: We believe meaningful human connection plays an important role in emotional wellbeing and quality of life.

• Reliability: Individuals and families should feel confident in receiving consistent, dependable, and respectful support.
