We offer a variety of specialist care services across London from housekeeping and companionship to live-in care and night care.
Reablement care is short-term care to assist you with daily activities while you recover after an accident, illness, or operation.
Reablement care usually lasts for up to 6 weeks but in most cases, the care lasts for only two weeks. During this time our professionally trained care assistants will support you with tasks around your home while maintaining your independence.
Whatever your care needs and wherever your loved one is on their care journey, please contact us and let’s talk. We're here to help.
Reablement care focuses on restoring your independence rather than managing healthcare issues.
Reablement care has two primary goals: Firstly, reablement care supports you to relearn how to do things for yourself after an accident, illness, or operation rather than relying on a care assistant; and secondly, reablement care is designed to ensure you stay at home while you recover rather than needing to spend a short period of time in a care home.
If you require reablement care we know that you won't feel up to keeping up with jobs around the house and that you may have been instructed by the doctor to not complete any housework. No one likes to live in an untidy home but there's no need to worry because our care assistants are more than happy to make sure your home is kept clean and tidy while you're recovering.
It's not unusual for you to feel some pain for a few days or several weeks after a planned procedure or accident. This pain can deplete your energy and result in a low mood. Our care assistants recognise this and will help you to maintain a pain relief medication routine while also completing any tasks that you might find uncomfortable, such as shopping, cleaning and meal preparation.
In some cases, your recovery might entail regular physio or exercise. When you're feeling unwell it can be hard to motivate yourself to complete these exercises or you might feel nervous about completing them on your own. We understand this and our carers will happily assist you with any exercises you need to complete to ensure you recover as quickly as possible.

From Acton to Dulwich and Notting Hill to Wimbledon - wherever you live in London, our carers are ready to support you.
“I’ve met so many patients that are happy to see me after they’ve been discharged from the hospital and it’s this that makes my work really rewarding. I’ve heard patients say countless times that if it weren’t for me the doctors wouldn’t have discharged them and that the care I was going to provide gave the doctors confidence that they’d be ok upon returning home."
Our reablement care 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..."
Chris Williams - Tiggo Care Founder
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.

Our care manager will arrange a free consultation with you at your loved one’s home to better understand your requirements, create a personalised care plan and pair your loved one with a suitable carer.
And that’s it. You’re all set! We’ll introduce you to your loved one’s carer and the whole team, who’ll be able to provide you with all the ongoing support you’ll need.
Reablement is the process of assisting people to regain functional capacity and improve independence. This often entails helping people with daily activities while they recover at home after a period in hospital.
Reablement is a person-centred care approach that is goal-focused. The overall goal is to improve the patient's independence but each patient will have different needs. For example, some might require support with physio, whereas others might only need some support with domestic tasks.
All reablement care plans are unique to the patient but most will reference mobility needs, assistance with domestic tasks, support with meal preparation, and the goals of the patient.
Definitely not! We've seen clients of all ages benefit from reablement care. For example, we've provided reablement care to several patients under the age of 30 following planned knee surgeries.
