Private Home Care In Adlington & Chorley Areas

Ellerbeck Private Home Care

Exceptional, elegant one-to-one care — delivered by the same familiar, trusted face every time.

At Ellerbeck, I provide high-standard, truly personal home care for individuals who value dignity, consistency and genuine human connection.

Not a care agency.

Ellerbeck Care is small and family-run, offering bespoke 1:1 support — never rushed, never rotated, always personal.

Personal Care, Done Properly

Ellerbeck was founded in 2019 with one clear aim: to offer a better standard of private home care.

Built on over 30+ years of experience in health & social care and the mental health sector, I provide calm, reliable support, tailored entirely around the individual — not a timetable.

Our clients are never treated as numbers.

They’re people who deserve time, respect and the very highest standards of care.

Personal

Care that’s built around the individual - their routines, preferences and comfort. I take the time to understand what matters, delivering one-to-one support that feels calm, respectful and genuinely human.

Professional

Experienced, trained carer delivering high standards of care with consistency and discretion. Every visit is carried out with professionalism, reliability and attention to detail - no rushing, no cutting corners.

Private

Discreet, confidential care delivered by the same familiar face each time. No agency rotas, no strangers - just trusted support from Leigh. A dedicated carer you’ll know by name.

What clients say

Kirstin
Excellent
From our first meeting with Leigh - we knew we'd hit jackpot! A genuinely warm, caring person who made sure Dad got the care he needed and deserved. Leigh spent time with us as a Family to listen, suggest ideas and we felt so relieved to have found someone who we knew we could trust. Her communication with us is excellent. Her paperwork is highly professional and always completed in great depth. When dad was in hospital she baked him a Diabetic Cake to! A true diamond!
Jane
Second to none
Leigh rings mum to get up in a morning as she "doesn't see the point" now that Dad is in a Nursing Home, encouraging her to be up, showered and dressed in times they can go out for coffee. Mum thoroughly enjoys the time that Leigh spends with her, which as a Family is lovely to see and helps us to relax knowing mum is safe and cared for when we are tied up at work. Leighs communication to us as a Family is second to none , we are truelly grateful for all that she does for us.
Mavis
Incredible
The service is amazing & I always know she is in safe hands when she has a visit. They brighten up her day & it’s lovely to see how they interact & make her laugh. They give her the best care possible & nothing is too much trouble. I also feel that I am supported as a carer & I can confide in Leigh about any problems / issues.
Carolyn
Always listened to
I feel my needs and preferences are listened to and actioned. For example, encouraging me to have more "me time" as mums carer. Anything I ask is always done and nothing is to much trouble for Leigh. She is always laughing and always comes in cheerful which gets mum in a good mood! I genuinely feel Leigh really cares for mum as she has very few visitors, and shes like a breath of fresh air. She has exceeded my expectations in care and goes above and beyond. Leigh has created so many memories for mum and made Christmas so special for her.
Marion
kind, considerate and helpful.
Leigh and Kiera are kind, considerate and helpful. Very kind helpful and considerate and thoughtful to my needs, I feel happy when we play games and quizzes together. They make me feel wanted.
David
Very helpful
If Ellerbeck weren't here I would be very confused. I get help to cook all my Meals, baking and cleaning my flat. And help to budget my money every week. I enjoy going out shopping with Leigh every Monday. It makes me very happy. My favourite bit was last year on my first Christmas in my new flat, buying a Christmas tree and decorating it together, Ive never had my own Christmas tree before!
Chris
Excellent Staff
Staff excellent, will help with tasks willingly. Above & beyond care on Edward’s birthday – cake, cards, balloons and a photograph of the occasion made him extremely happy. Lots of laughs each day. Edward looks forward to their visits. Thank you everyone.
Sue
Compassionate & Kind
I always feel listened to. I love how Leigh brings in things. Like little gifts at christmas and chocolates at Easter and always keeps me upto date with what's going on, its very easy to feel cut off from the world.
Colin
Just lovely
Leigh takes me out & makes me laugh! She always makes sure Ive eaten and we often sit in the garden or play games...and always brings me treats!
Graham
Makes the day better
Leigh brightens up my Dad's day !
Christine
Excellent
Excellent! Will help with tasks willingly. Always go above and beyond. Leigh brought my husband balloons for his birthday and a cake, he was so happy! We have so many laughs every day together! My husband really does look forward to the visits.
Susan
A Huge weight off!
Its such a huge weight off my mind knowing Leigh goes into mum, she really looks forward to seeing her. For me its been a life changing decision having Ellerbeck in our lives.
Gary
Highly ercommended
I would highly recommend Leigh to anyone needing that bit more than a "standard carer". She's like a ray of sunshine in mums home every day. So enthusiastic. And little things like painting mums nails after a shower or picking flowers for her from her garden.the comprehensive logs that Leigh provides proved valuable in mums recent assessment for a Residential Home as unfortunately she now needs 24 hour Care. Leigh deserves the success for her hard work and dedication.
Lynda
Perfect care
The care provided by Leigh is just perfect! She's a ray of sunshine for my relative, - who isn't the easiest person and Leigh knows exactly how to handle every situation and has built up such a good relationship with her. Her quality of life has certainly improved with Leigh around! Im so grateful that Leigh and Ellerbeck was recommended to me.
