Our Services

The Extra Daughter focuses on supporting older people who just need a little help, transport or company. We are not a “personal care” provider, although with extensive background in purchasing domiciliary care packages, we are happy to support you in finding “personal care” support if needed.

Our aim is to provide what ever support you need at home to maintain your independence. We are open to discuss whatever you needs are.

We work within AM (9am–1pm) and PM (1pm–5pm) visit windows rather than fixed times. This flexibility helps us manage travel, traffic and life’s little unpredictabilities — while making sure every client gets the full care and attention they deserve.
