Home Care in Essex

Professional, friendly, reliable domiciliary care services across Essex from trained and trusted care professionals.

The Butterfly’s In-Home Care Philosophy

We believe that everyone should be empowered to live their lives as they desire. This may include the right to remain living in your own home or the right to live your life in the fulfilling way that you choose. Whatever a service user’s needs are, we believe that providing the right care and assistance can enable people to live their life with dignity in an independent, safe and secure way.

We offer a variety of flexible and affordable packages, from 15 minutes a day, up to 24 hours, all tailored to suit our clients’ needs.

Admitting or realising that you need help and care at home to continue to get on in life is a huge and ultimately life-changing decision. We are experts in this field and we can help.

    Our team of carers provide home care support for service users across Essex who require assistance with a wide range of conditions, including:

    Fully Trained Domiciliary Care Staff


    We have a fantstic team of local, fully-trained and experienced domiciliary care staff, recruited from a variety of healthcare backgrounds to help give the best support to our clients in the comfort of their own homes.

    All our carers undergo a rigorous selection process and are chosen only if they demonstrate what we believe to be the highest moral standards and the ability to care for people in a professional and non-intrusive way.

    Bespoke Care At Home, Tailored To Each Individual's Needs

    Each client is different, and they will be assessed as such. We work closely with each individual to determine what kind of domiciliary care services they’ll need, resulting in a carefully drafted personalised care plan.

    The assessment process is on-going, and families will always be informed and kept up-to-date. Care plans will be refreshed as and when any changes are required.

    Matching The Right Carer With Each Service User

    We know that receiving care in your own home can feel daunting initially, as it inevitably means inviting a stranger into your house.

    We take this privilege & responsibility seriously. So much so that we spend a lot of time matching the right carers with the right clients. 

    Our aim is to ultimately creating a comfortable relationship where our carers are very quickly regarded as a friendly face whom you are glad to see, and no longer feel like an anonymous stranger.
