Support When Things Don’t Go to Plan

Life doesn’t always go the way we expect. If you or someone you care for has been away from home and now needs support to return and settle safely, Care and Carriage can help with the planning, supervision and practical support you need.

Our approach focuses on making the process as calm and straightforward as possible – tailored to your needs and circumstances.


Support for Returning Home

We can assist with arrangements to help you return home from elsewhere in the UK:

  • Coordinating travel logistics
  • Providing support before, during and after your journey
  • Assisting with transitions into familiar surroundings

Where appropriate, transport is provided as part of this wider support, with trained Community Support Companions present throughout to help you feel safe and confident.

Support After Injury or Unexpected Events

If you’ve had an injury, been in hospital, or experienced an unexpected situation away from home, we can help you:

  • Get back into your home environment safely
  • Manage belongings and settling-in routines
  • Have support with any initial short-term needs

We focus on support and presence, not just moving you physically.

UK-Wide Assistance

We can support people returning home from locations across the UK, working with you or your representatives to plan the support needed for your situation.

Our Community Support Companions are with you for the whole experience, providing reassurance, practical help and supervision where required.

International Support

If you are abroad and wish to return home, we can discuss your needs and help coordinate support, including:

  • Planning return travel
  • Managing transitions
  • Liaising with relevant contacts

This type of arrangement is bespoke and discussed case by case.

Personalised & Caring

We really do care for every step, that’s why we will personalise the experience. It’s not a bother, we’ll happily go out the way to assist the weekly shopping for a comfortable settling back in.
