Our Story

Caring for Lancashire, one family at a time.

Briars Homecare Services was established in 2004 with a simple but powerful belief: that everyone deserves to live safely, comfortably and independently in their own home — no matter their age or circumstances.

Over two decades later, that belief still drives everything we do. We've grown from a small local team into one of the Fylde coast's most trusted homecare providers, supporting clients across Blackpool, Thornton-Cleveleys, Poulton-le-Fylde, Fleetwood, Hambleton, Sower Carr and Stalmine.

What sets us apart isn't just our CQC Rated Good status — it's the relationships our carers build with clients every single day. We know our clients by name. We know their routines, their preferences, their families. That's not a policy. That's who we are.

Our Values

The principles that guide every visit.

Compassion

We recruit carers for their warmth first. Every visit is carried out with patience, kindness and genuine respect for the people in our care.

Excellence

Our name says it — delivering excellence. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in everything from care planning to communication.

Reliability

The same trusted faces, on time, every visit. Consistency isn't just a preference for our clients — it's essential to their wellbeing and safety.

Dignity

Every person we support has a story, a personality and preferences that matter. We honour that in every interaction, every day.

Meet the Team

The people behind the care.

Our office team works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure every client receives the right care, at the right time, from the right person.

Care you can trust completely.

Briars Homecare is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and holds a Rated Good inspection result — the independent assurance that our care meets national standards.

We are also approved providers with Lancashire County Council and Blackpool Council, and work in partnership with NHS discharge teams to support patients returning home from hospital.

Every one of our carers holds an enhanced DBS certificate, receives ongoing training in dementia, safeguarding, medication management and manual handling, and is supervised regularly by our management team.
