Who we are
Tender Care was started to make good care possible at home — the kind of care that treats a person as a person, not a task. Our caregivers come into your home and work alongside the family, at the pace the client sets.
We cover short recovery periods, long-term support and everything in between: from post-operative recovery and wound care to dementia caring and palliative care.
