Did you know?
We are social beings...
Supporting elderly individuals with trips and outings, such as visits to cafes, garden centres, and other recreational spots, plays a crucial role in enhancing their overall well-being. These outings provide seniors with the opportunity to socialise, engage with their community, and experience a change of scenery, which can significantly boost their mental and emotional health. Homecare services, in this context, are invaluable. They offer tailored assistance to those with care requirements, ensuring that they can safely and comfortably participate in these outings. Whether it's providing transportation, assisting with mobility, or simply offering companionship, homecare professionals ensure that the elderly can enjoy these excursions without any hindrance. By facilitating such experiences, homecare services not only address the physical needs of the elderly but also contribute to their social and emotional enrichment, fostering a sense of independence and joy in their lives.

The Types of People Who Benefit from Care, Trips & Outings
Our care, trips, and outings aren’t just about getting from place to place. They are about connection, purpose, and quality of life. Many people, especially those living alone or with limited mobility, can experience loneliness, often described by health experts as a “silent killer.” Research shows that chronic loneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking or obesity, increasing the risk of heart disease, depression, and cognitive decline.
Trips, social visits, and companionship make a real difference. Whether it’s a walk along the promenade, a visit to a café, a trip to the shops, or attending local community events, these moments help people stay active, stimulated, and emotionally well.
Our carers tailor every outing to individual preferences and abilities that creating opportunities for conversation, laughter, and shared experiences that bring comfort and joy to everyday life.
Horizons social mission...
We understand that we, as humans, are social beings and the need for relationships and activities are what keep us happy, mentally and physically fit. That is why we will help you with hobbies, goals, outings or similar.
​​
We have also designed a community social club for those who want to get out of the house and socialise at our social hub where we play games, dance, sing, play bingo and much more...

Our core values...
The foundation of our success
Kindness
We believe that being truly kind isn't a skill, and it certainly isn't something you can learn. Being kind by nature is who you are!
Thats why we only employ, train and nurture those who are truly kind and caring towards other people. Not only does this belief form our recruitment process and decisions, it has become one of the foundations of our business.
Punctuality
We firmly believe that routines are what keep us as people, independent. Why should that change just because you require support at home?
Punctuality is another foundation of our business, and it means that when you become a client of Horizons, you will always know when your care team will be arriving. No more care workers being late, and no more missed visits.
Continuity
Something we have always been very eager to improve is the quite possibly the biggest 'flaw' in social care services today. Continuity...
After all, we wouldn't want our loved ones seeing a different person at every care visit, so why should you have to put up with it?
This is why you will have your very own team of care workers that really understand you and your routines. Your history, your family and your hobbies.
Family
The word family, encapsulates everything that we stand for, but unlike others who say they are a family run company. We truly are!
From our HCAs to our clients, we are all one family striving for better outcomes and happier lives. This is why family is not only a core value, but the bricks and mortar we build the foundations on.
