    Where our area ends

    We cover Reading, Wokingham, Bracknell, Newbury, Ascot and Maidenhead and the villages around them. That is home care across Berkshire, from the Hampshire border in the west to the Surrey edge in the east.

    We are not yet in Slough or Windsor, and we do not cover Basingstoke, Guildford or Oxford. Rather than leave you guessing, we would rather tell you straight.

    If you are close to the edge of our area, please ring us. Care boundaries are rarely a clean line, and we may still be able to help even if your postcode is just outside the list. A quick call saves everyone the guesswork.
