Everycare is a domiciliary care development for the provision of services in line with the Governments "Community Care policies". The Everycare service is designed to provide a comprehensive and flexible range of home care services, supported by the latest technology in the emergency monitoring of clients and their homes.

Everycare's services enables people with a care need to have the choice of staying in their home longer and buying in the support services that will help them to carry on an independent life style.

The Company

Everycare originated in April 1993 in response to the introduction of the 1993 Community Care Act, as a development of a highly successful residential care business.

Due to the remarkable success of the pilot operation in Cardiff which achieved a first year turnover in excess of £0.5 million, the directors launched the first franchise in 1994. The franchise network now covers approximately 20% of the UK population.

Everycare (Cardiff) Limited, where the pilot scheme was run, continues to be highly successful with a current annual turnover in excess of £1.6m.

The Everycare service

Everycare provides care staff to both private and social services clients in their own homes and qualified nursing staff to both public and private sector organisations providing health care services. Everycare has developed a tried and tested business system for the administration and successful development of all these services.

The total markets for these services are estimated to be in excess of £10 bn
annually in the UK.
