We provide Down syndrome support at home in London, helping your loved one build confidence, remain independent, and lead a full life.
Your loved one deserves person-centred home care that fits around their unique needs, wishes, and preferences. At Tiggo Care, our Down syndrome care at home covers everything from domestic tasks and preparing meals to getting to school or work and attending appointments.
Our compassionate carers are matched carefully to your loved one, so they feel settled and supported from day one. People with Down syndrome often benefit from personalised care that helps them live independently and make the most of life.
Home care services enable your loved one to stay in the familiar surroundings of their own home while receiving all the support they need. Whether they need a few hours of visiting care each week or more support, we are here to help.
We work closely with families, GPs, and other professionals to build a care package shaped by your loved one's routine, health, and well-being. Your family will be involved every step of the way.
People with Down syndrome often need just a little help with everyday tasks, rather than intensive assistance. Our carers provide extra support for your loved one and extra reassurance for your family, giving everyone peace of mind.
We also help with maintaining a comfortable home, managing certain health conditions, and helping your loved one stay safe and healthy. Whether you need support now or are planning for the future, we’re available to talk through your options.
Get in touch today to learn how our Down syndrome support at home in London can make life easier and more enjoyable for your whole family.

Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21. This extra chromosome causes distinct physical features and developmental differences, including mild to moderate intellectual disability.
People with Down syndrome may also have congenital heart defects, hearing loss, and obstructive sleep apnea.
In the UK, about one in every 1,000 babies is born with Down's syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21.
Down syndrome causes developmental delays that affect communication, learning, and social skills throughout life. Adults with Down syndrome have a wide range of abilities and support needs. Their support needs can also change over the course of their lives. Many people living with Down syndrome benefit from supportive care at home to help them live independently.
People with Down syndrome are more likely to develop certain health conditions, such as heart problems, gastrointestinal issues, immune disorders, and dementia.
People with Down syndrome may have poorer health outcomes than the general population, which is why the right support and home care matter so much. With the right support, many people with Down syndrome can attend school or further education, hold a job, and take an active part in their communities. Early training, education, and tailored care all help them achieve their potential and build a positive future.
People with Down syndrome can live fulfilling lives with the right level of support from home care services. Our person-centred care focuses on building daily independence, responding to your loved one's emotional needs, and helping them thrive in familiar surroundings. Home care promotes independence for people with Down syndrome by allowing them to maintain their routines and engage in activities they enjoy.
Our home care covers a wide range of everyday services, including:
People with Down syndrome may require assistance with medication routines and regular medical appointments. Regular health check-ins are important for people with Down syndrome to monitor their health changes. Care professionals can help people with Down syndrome manage their health and well-being effectively at home.
People with Down syndrome can have varying levels of support needs, with some needing a few hours of assistance and others needing more support. Whether your loved one needs visiting care a few hours a week or a full-time live-in carer, we will build the right care package around them. Many people with Down syndrome can live independently, attend further education, and take part in paid employment with the right level of support.

Our home care service is based on personal experience
We understand, first-hand how important it is to secure flexible and bespoke home care for your loved one.
“Tiggo Care is born out of my own personal experiences, following my struggle to find suitable care for my parents, both of whom lived with rare diseases..."

At Tiggo Care we understand how precious your loved one is to you and how unique they are. We also appreciate how overwhelming it can be to research and source the most suitable type of care.
We fundamentally believe that there is no ‘one size fits all’ care package and like to work with you and your loved one to understand your specific requirements. We’ll then create a tailored care package and match your relative with their ideal carer.
Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited to ensure we are a safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led organisation, committed to delivering the best possible care.
We’re also proud members of the Homecare Association, the U.K’s membership body for home care providers, which holds organisations to a high set of standards and requests them to abide by a strict code of practice
At Tiggo Care, all of our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers undertake their training on the best eLearning system currently available within the UK care market, ensuring they are well placed to deliver the best possible service. Specialist training courses such as moving and handling, medications and basic life support are also completed by our carers face to face, as we feel these courses are more effective when delivered in person.

Down syndrome support at home may include assistance with domestic tasks, preparing meals, getting to school or work, attending appointments, and taking part in community activities. Visiting care offers flexible support at scheduled times throughout the week, while live-in care provides round-the-clock support for those with more complex needs.
Home care also provides companionship and social support, helping people with Down syndrome engage with their community, pursue their interests, and live fulfilled and happy lives. Our carers build genuine, trusting relationships with the people they support. This companionship care includes both practical and emotional support, such as extra reassurance to help your loved one feel more confident on outings or encouragement to take part in social activities and hobbies.
Our support for adults with Down syndrome in London can include help with domestic tasks, preparing meals, attending appointments, and getting to and from work. Our carers also assist adults with Down syndrome with social activities and community outings, helping them build friendships. With the right support, many people with Down syndrome can live independently, attend further education, and work with the right support.
Personal care services for people with Down syndrome can include assistance with hygiene, dressing, and other daily living tasks. Our carers can also help with healthcare routines as directed by a GP. We assess your loved one's unique needs and only include personal care in their care plan where it is needed.
Consider home care when your loved one needs help with everyday tasks such as dressing, hygiene, getting to school or work, or attending appointments. Home care is a good option for families who want their loved one to remain independent in their own home while still having the right level of support. Care plans can include a range of support options, from occasional visits to a full-time live-in carer.
Care plans for people with Down syndrome are developed with your loved one and your family to make sure the support reflects their unique needs and preferences. We start with a no-obligation initial assessment, usually conducted at home, to understand your family’s situation. We are happy to answer any questions you have about care options and funding, including whether your loved one is eligible for social care funding from your local council.
