Our Story

Care inspired by personal experience

I'm Lucy Lowther, Founder and Director of The Howardian Care Company.

I established the business almost 10 years ago after a deeply personal experience when my own mother became seriously unwell. Going through that difficult time gave me a first-hand understanding of the worry, uncertainty, and emotional strain families face when a loved one requires care and support. With the demands of modern life, work, and family commitments, it can be a huge relief to know there is a trusted local service available to help.

The Howardian Care Company is a local independent care provider specialising in everything from early intervention prevention support to more complex round the clock care needs. We offer a wide range of services designed to help older and vulnerable people remain independent, safe, and happy in their own homes and communities.

Care you can trust

Our aim is to empower our clients to maintain their independence and enjoy the best possible quality of life. Over the years, we have supported numerous families, continually adapting and growing to meet the changing needs of our clients.

We are incredibly proud of the relationships we build with those we support. Trust, compassion, and continuity of care are at the heart of everything we do. Our highly skilled team members live and work within the communities we serve and have strong links with local GP surgeries, District Nursing teams, local authorities, and charities including Dementia Forward and Living Well.

Compassionate, individual support

We have extensive accredited experience supporting people living with dementia and understand the specialist care, patience, and reassurance this condition often requires. We also support individuals living with a wide range of other age-related conditions, illnesses, and vulnerabilities.

Above all, we believe care is about more than practical support. It is about companionship, kindness, dignity, and understanding. Every service we provide is tailored to the individual, ensuring that each client receives the support that is right for them.

We invite you to read our testimonials to discover what our clients and their families say about and the difference our team makes every day.

Reviews from families we care for

My wife has Alzheimer's and I have given her 24 hour care for 3 years. Howardian care company found us a weekly companion for my wife who took her out and spent time with her weekly for about a year. Sophie was very familiar with dementia care and developed an amazing relationship with my wife, taking a lot of pressure off me. The company has a very professional and caring approach led by Lucy brilliantly.

Howardian Helpers looked after my Mother alongside another private carer and were able to support her 24/7 with both sleeping nights initially and waking nights latterly. The service she received was Rolls Royce and enabled my Mother to stay at home for longer and keep her independence.

— Marc Cumberledge

I cannot thank Lucy and her dedicated team of helpers enough for the wonderful care and support they've provided for Mike and myself following Mike's return from Whitecross Hospital after his stroke. The whole team are very helpful, friendly, professional in their approach, and will always give Mike support and encouragement. I will certainly recommend the Howardian Care Company's services to friends with similar needs. Thank you again.

— Olive and Mike Willis

Since Howardian Helpers have been visiting me, I have felt so much happier. They arrive on time, do any task that is required of them and are a very kind, helpful and sociable lot. They are the perfect alternative to having carers or having to go into a home, a great service that is really needed in the community!

— Jean, Thirsk

Lucy is a helping hand that enables me to stay independent in my own home. She is kind, caring and good company. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I look forward to the days she comes.
