Homecare
…as it should be

Live better at home

At Doris Jones, we’re dedicated to helping local families provide the quality, tailored care their loved ones’ need to continue living happily and safely in their own homes.

Most elderly people would far rather remain in familiar home surroundings as they age. Maintaining a sense of independence, comfort and security, while getting the assistance they need, offers huge benefits to the individual while providing reassurance and easing pressure on family members.

The right care at home can maximise quality of life, enhance physical and mental wellbeing and reduce the risk of hospital admissions.

There are many homecare providers covering Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding area but none offers the same combination of benefits to local families. One of only a handful rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission, Doris Jones’ fully managed homecare service provides the quality, care and dependability we all want for our loved ones.

What makes Doris Jones different?

How we work

Founded and managed by experienced physiotherapists, all aspects of our service aim to optimise health and wellbeing and increase people’s ability to live independently in their own homes. Applying physiotherapy principles in even the subtlest way can have profound results in terms of preventing hospital admissions, reducing dependence, and delaying or avoiding a move to residential care.

What our clients say

  • “I can thoroughly recommend this agency and their team of great carers”

  • “Not only do they support dad, they are a fantastic support to our family as well.”

  • “Whoever you speak to on the phone they are always so helpful.”

  • “Doris Jones, thank you for looking after my lovely dad, you are our superheroes!!”
