Starling Homecare is an independent, family-run service registered with the Care Quality Commission. We shape care around the person, adjust it as needs change, and give you a full 90 days to be sure. It starts with a free home visit.
Whatever you are facing right now, you do not have to work it out on your own. From your first call, we help you find a way forward, and things start to feel lighter.
Leave your name and number and we will call you back. The home visit is free, and you decide if and when to go ahead.

You can rely on us for honest advice, even if the right answer turns out to be something other than home care. Prefer to talk now? Call 01727 324 127.
Independently regulated, and rated five stars by the families we support.
You are supported by a small, carefully matched team, so your family member sees the same carers, not a different stranger each visit. Trust has the chance to build naturally.
We arrive at the agreed time, and if anything delays us we call ahead. We stay for the full visit, every time. Visits are long enough to do things properly, from 30 minutes through to live-in care.
You have a named local manager who knows your care personally, not a call centre. Through our secure family app you can see each visit, so there is peace of mind even when you cannot be there.
Every carer is checked before they enter your home, with references and enhanced DBS checks. We are highly selective about who we take on, because your family deserves it.
We review regularly and adjust the plan as life changes, so the care always fits. You do not have to get everything right on day one.
Care is often needed at short notice. Once you are ready, we aim to put support in place quickly, subject to availability.
Choosing care is a significant step, and you should not have to get it perfect on day one. Care is often needed sooner than expected, and we can usually begin within two working days. So we have made starting as low-risk as we honestly can.
Our founders and senior team have not just worked in care, they have helped shape it. Our Managing Director founded and ran a Skills for Care endorsed training provider, and our Registered Manager has trained care teams for the Hertfordshire Care Providers Association. The standards behind your care come from people who have trained others to deliver it.
Our Registered Manager has over 25 years in local health and social care. Our family has delivered home care across Hertfordshire for over 13 years, recognised with multiple awards.
We meet the standards to access NHS systems such as GP Connect, so we can work from accurate, up-to-date medical and medication information.
As an independent, family-run service, our decisions are guided by what is right for our clients. We hold ourselves to the standard we would expect for our own family.
"Kirsty and Kelly were amazing from start to finish. They worked seamlessly with my aunt's existing carers and kept me updated regularly with her mood and safety. As I live so far away this was really reassuring. Highly recommended."
"You have been amazing carers. I will have nothing but excellent reviews for Starling."
"Excellent run company providing a great service."
