Live-in Care

💜 As one of the very first providers of live-in care in the UK, ENA Care Group has been trusted by families for over 30 years.

During this time, we’ve not only supported hundreds of clients with professional, high-quality live-in care but also trained and nurtured our carers to deliver that care with compassion and respect.

From employment support for our carers to the full range of services for our clients, whether it’s complex nursing care, specialist equipment, or day-to-day assistance, we’re here to make life safer, easier, and more comfortable for you and your loved ones.

Domiciliary (Hourly) Care

🏡 Domiciliary care is a wonderful choice for those who want to stay in the comfort of their own home while maintaining as much independence as possible.

Our carers can provide support with the little things that make daily life easier, such as light housework, preparing meals, or accompanying you to appointments, as well as helping with important routines like personal care and taking medication.

It’s all about giving you the extra support you need, while ensuring you can continue living life on your own terms, in the place you know and love.

ENA Care Reviews

I wanted to take the opportunity to provide some recent feedback regarding Dave. He has continued to demonstrate professionalism, compassion, and a truly person-centred approach in his work. I cannot express strongly enough how content and reassured I feel having him as a regular part of my care package—he is a valued member of my team.

Our working relationship is built on mutual understanding and respect, and I thoroughly enjoy his company. It is an absolute joy to work with someone who understands me so well. I would like to place on record that I would very much like Dave to remain a permanent and consistent part of my regular care provision.

I believe it is important to regularly share feedback—positive or otherwise—to ensure the highest standards of care. Notably, during this most recent period, I was extremely unwell with a stomach bug. Dave’s response was highly professional and considerate; his compassion and interpersonal skills made a very difficult time far more manageable. In situations like that, having someone without empathy can make you feel significantly worse, but thankfully, Dave brings genuine care and emotional intelligence in abundance.

In my view, Dave consistently embodies the core principles that ENA stands for: enabling, nurturing, and aspiring. What’s more, he supports me in living out those principles as well. He provides the foundation that allows me to live life on my own terms. His flexible, understanding nature gives me the space to follow my own rhythm and maintain my independence. And through his encouragement and steady presence, I feel able to strive for more, without limitation or constraint. He never holds me back—instead, he walks alongside me, helping me move forward.

Funding your care

At present, social care is means-tested. Therefore, in England and Northern Ireland, if the person needing care has assets over £23,250 they will have to pay for their care. However, if you intend to continue living in your home (rather than moving into a care home), your home isn’t counted amongst the assets that are assessed. You can find out more information on this from Age UK and Age NI.

The first step to understanding what a person may be entitled to from the person’s local authority is to request a Needs Assessment. The person’s local council will assess their financial situation in order to let them know what they are entitled to, if anything.

For an individual who has significant health needs, the other publicly-funded option is an assessment for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). NHS Continuing Healthcare isn’t means-tested, but in order to be awarded CHC the person needing care would be required to go through an assessment of personal and medical needs which is scored using points.

Should you or your relative qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding, the care needed will be funded entirely by the NHS, with regular reviews to check on CHC eligibility. Many ENA clients have been successfully awarded NHS Continuing Healthcare in the past and thus we would be happy to provide information to anyone that may help them in deciding whether an assessment of this kind is worth considering.

From Personal Income or Savings
If you have a considerable income or savings then this option may well suit you or your family. However, in the case of savings, where interest rates are very low at present, your money won’t be growing at a particularly rapid rate.

Another option is to look at alternative investment opportunities, but this would very much depend on your attitude to risk and whether you want to invest in low or high-risk funds.

From An Annuity
You could purchase an annuity (a retirement income product purchased with some, or all, of your capital, intended to give you regular payments thereafter).

A key point with annuities is to choose the right option so that you are likely to get back in income the capital used to purchase the annuity. You can reduce the risks associated with an annuity by including guarantees against some of the downsides.

From Equity Release
This is where you release some of the value of your home, most notably through an equity release scheme. There are many different schemes, all of which have positives and negatives to consider before entering into an agreement.

There are other means of using some of the value of your home, too, perhaps by downsizing, or entering into an arrangement with family to provide the capital that you need. You may also wish to approach your bank for a loan to be secured against your assets.

Sometimes, the person needing care may be entitled to claim benefits. For example, if the person is under 65 years old, they could apply for a Personal Independence Payment (PIP). If the person is over 65, they could qualify for Attendance Allowance. You can find out more about all of the benefits relating to disabilities and health from the government.
In addition, a person with a diagnosis of dementia may be able to reduce their council tax liability. More information on this is available from the Alzheimer’s Society.

Claudio Duran

Originally from Chile, I relocated to the United Kingdom in 1985, where I began my business career. Over the years, I have worn many hats, from working as a technician to becoming a franchise owner, with each role contributing to my broad skill set. In 1992, I earned a Diploma in Business from the University of Bedfordshire, which laid a strong foundation for my professional journey. Two years later, in 1994, my spouse Clare and I co-founded ENA Care Group Ltd, a business born out of our own personal experiences with care provision and our desire to provide quality care to others. I completed a master's in business administration in 2001 to further refine my expertise in business management. At ENA Care Group Ltd, I have had the privilege of serving in several key roles, including managing the financial operations and working as the Registered Manager. My commitment to leadership extends beyond the company, as I have actively contributed to various charitable organisations. I’ve served as Company Secretary and Treasurer for organisations such as the Anglo-Chilean Society and the Anglo-Latin-American Foundation, helping to foster connections between cultures and communities. In addition to my business and charitable work, I have dedicated significant time to public service. I served as a local Councillor for 12 years, where I oversaw several committees, including Vice chairman, finance, planning, and human resources, and helped shape policies that benefited our local community. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of being involved in sports, notably as a referee for the England Volleyball Association. In recognition of my contributions to the community, I was honoured with the Freedom of the City of London in 2014. I am also a proud Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, reflecting my passion for continuous learning and community engagement. Above all, I am incredibly proud of my personal life as a father to seven wonderful children and a grandfather to seven equally amazing grandchildren. My family continues to inspire and support me in all of my endeavours.

Clare Duran

Co-founder and owner of the ENA Care Group. I am an active director overseeing both the service delivered to clients and carers and the home-care team. I've been back since March 2012, after taking a ridiculously long maternity break. I jump at any opportunity to get back into uniform and brush up on my nursing skills. My role in the company is all about the service we deliver to both our clients and carers. I have a dream to become the best home-care provider in the UK and I spend most of my time troubleshooting and searching for ways to improve. My favourite part of the job is visiting and speaking to clients and carers alike. If you would like a visit or a call, please drop me an email.

"I used their hourly service for my Dad and would recommend to others. The carers were lovely and really looked after him. It was a huge help."
