At Tiggo Care, we provide personalised support to help people stay safe at home and continue the daily activities that matter most to them. Our Balham home care services cover everything from personal care and medication support to domestic tasks, meal preparation, and companionship.

We support people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities, and long-term health conditions, tailoring every care package to suit the person's needs. Whether you need a few hours of extra support each week or more continuous support throughout the day, our care team will work with you to find the right level of care.

For those who need someone available around the clock, we offer live-in care services in Balham, where a dedicated care assistant lives in your family home and provides support day and night. Live-in care is a cost-effective alternative to a care home, allowing your loved one to remain independent in the familiar surroundings of their own home.

We also provide respite care for family carers who need a break, as well as care following hospital discharge and complex care for people with conditions such as dementia and Parkinson's. Whatever care is required, Tiggo Care is here to make life easier and give your family peace of mind.

Tiggo Care is an award-winning care company, fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and meeting the highest standards for safe and effective home care. Our care assistants complete high-quality training to ensure they provide safe, confident, and compassionate care for every client.

All care assistants are DBS checked before starting work, and we carefully match each person with a care assistant who suits their needs and personality. We offer a free consultation to discuss your needs and can usually put a personalised care plan in place.

More reasons to choose Tiggo Care

Our packages are bespoke

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.

We're fully regulated

Unlike some other care providers, we are fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission. This means we are regularly inspected, rated and audited and ensures that 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

Our carers are fully vetted & trained

At Tiggo Care, all our carers undergo a rigorous recruitment and induction process. They are fully vetted and background checked, with all references followed up. Our carers also 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.
