Your Partners in Care

Supporting families, professionals, and communities across Northern England


Since 2009, we've built trusted partnerships across Northern England's health and social care landscape. From families arranging home care for elderly parents to NHS trusts managing complex discharges, we provide care that puts people first - whether that's a few hours of support each week or round-the-clock specialist care.

How we make a difference

We're proud to have built lasting relationships with our clients. Here's what they have to share about their experience with us.

"I would just like to thank you to all the staff that looked after my Dad. They were all amazing. The care that was given was excellent. They were all respectful and empathetic to our situation right up until the very end."

Quality You Can Trust

We are CQC regulated. All our care and support teams are directly employed by Routes, trained through Routes Academy, and supported by registered nurses where clinical oversight is needed.

Transparent Communication

We're straightforward about what we can deliver, realistic about timescales, and honest about costs. You'll always know where you stand.

Flexibility to Adapt

Needs change - we get that. Whether it's increasing hours, adding clinical support, or adjusting care plans, we adapt as circumstances evolve.

Proven Track Record

Operating across Northern England since 2009. 1,500+ staff. Supporting people from a few hours of home care each week to 24/7 complex care packages.

Fast-Track When It Matters

When timelines are tight, our Fast-Track team can mobilise support within hours. We understand when speed genuinely matters - whether that's urgent hospital discharge or a family crisis.

Relationships That Matter

Our care teams get to know the people they support. It's not just about tasks - it's about understanding what makes someone smile, what their routine looks like, what gives them comfort. That familiarity makes all the difference.
