Rare diseases are health conditions found in a small subset of the population, often presenting unique and complex challenges for those diagnosed.
Rare diseases are conditions affecting fewer than 1 in 2,000 people. Despite each condition being rare, there are over 7,000 known rare diseases, and this number continues to grow as medical research uncovers new conditions. Rare diseases can be chronic and often present significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to their unique and varied nature.
While rare, these conditions are collectively common, affecting around 1 in 17 people during their lifetime. Over 3.5 million people in the UK live with a rare disease. These diseases can have a variety of causes, with around 80% thought to be genetic. However, rare diseases can also be caused by environmental factors, infections, or even as a result of other health conditions like high blood pressure.
“I’ve seen how tough rare diseases can be on families. Every day is different, and sometimes it’s hard to know what’s next. But I’m here to help make things a bit easier. Whether it’s just popping by for a chat or helping with daily routines, I’m all about making sure your loved one feels comfortable and cared for. We’ll take it one step at a time together.”
Our rare disease home care service is based on Tiggo Care’s founder’s personal experience and offers tailored support that adapts to the unique needs of your loved one, making their daily life more manageable and comfortable. With Tiggo Care, your loved one can receive assistance with personal care, such as bathing or showering, dressing, and maintaining hygiene through dental care, shaving, and haircare. Meal preparation and feeding support are also available, ensuring nutritional needs are met. Medication routines can be complex, but our carers are there to help your loved one adhere to the regimen prescribed by their GP.
Our services are flexible, whether your loved one needs regular home care visits or live-in care. The care provided can adjust as your loved one's needs change, ensuring they receive the right level of support at the right time. With Tiggo Care, you can trust that your loved one is in safe and compassionate hands.

Our rare disease services are 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.
