It Takes a Village provides compassionate support and daily assistance to help you stay in your own home and maintain an independent lifestyle. Join our village community, proudly serving Chelmsford and the surrounding areas.
Keep your independence • Book an appointment knowing I can take you along • Let me deal with your bedding laundry •
Let's arrange some time (for free, with no obligation) where we can meet and discuss the ways in which I can help you stay in your home independently.

Appointments
This is a flexible hourly service due to the very nature of appointments being unprecictable.
I will happily take you to your appointment if we have pre-agreed the time in my diary.
We will aim to get to any hospital appointments 30 minutes before to allow for traffic and parking issues. I will then wait whilst you are seeing your specialist and take you home afterwards making sure you are settled before I leave you with a cuppa.
Away from home? (CM1 only)
Leave your pets OR plants in the comfort of their own home and I will check in and feed them daily.
Many of us have pets and we all know catteries can be expensive and awkward when you are trying to prepare for holidays or unpacking from being away.
Why not leave your pet at home and I'll check in and feed them a couple of times a day?
UNFORTUNATELY I cannot offer this service for DOGS or cats that do not usually stay in their home all the time. If they usually go out and do not have a cat flap I cannot agree to visit them.
This service will be £8 per day for 1 visit and £12 for 2 visits per day.

The Power of the Village
I believe that independence is best achieved through admitting where we could do with a little help here and there.
Helping you with those tasks you know you need a bit of support with will make the world of difference.
Together we can keep you in the place you call home. And as we all know; there's no place like home...
