In the UK today there are approximately 12 million over 65s! And this number is only growing.

Our ageing population means there is an increased strain on the NHS and social care with both resources and finances being stretched to the max!

Check out the blog post on our website to find out why we think single handed care should become an ‘individualised smarter care approach’

We’re on this rocket ship together

Are you along for the ride? Stick a 🚀 in the comments if so!

We started our business in a pandemic, was this a crazy idea, or was this genius?

We started building Sunday Care Therapy in 2020 - just when things were getting all 🍞sourdough starters, 🍌banana bread and 💇‍♂️cutting your own hair (badly) at home.

We’re proud to have secured CQC registration in December 2020, to get our changing-care-at-home rocket ship off the ground! 🚀
Here are some of our reasons for starting our business:

👵 Gladys, our Co-Founder Derek’s 91 year old Aunt inspired our biz
😷 Long COVID will need more rehab support at home
🧠 Dementia is something we’ve had so much experience with
🏠 Care Homes aren’t *currently* feeling like a safe option
🏥 Occupational Therapy is awesome, the world needs to know more

So tell us, do you think we were crazy to start a business or genius?

Well we weren’t alone in this - an extra 84,758 businesses setting up in 2020 compared with 2019 {via smallbusiness.co.uk)
