Your trusted guide to finding the right carer

Why we exist

For too long, families have been made to feel like they have no real choice in care.

That if someone you love needs support, a traditional agency is the only option. That finding and hiring a carer yourself is too complicated, too risky, or simply not possible.

We don’t believe that’s true.

Care is ready for change. Families deserve clarity, control, and real choice - not pressure, rigidity, or inflated costs.

With the right guidance and expert support, families can find, vet, and hire their own carers simply and confidently. And because you pay your carer directly - not through an agency - care becomes more affordable, fair, and transparent for everyone.

Carers deserve the same freedom too. More autonomy. Fairer ways of working. Real choice over how and where they provide care.

My Lighthouse exists to put power, choice, and confidence back where they belong - with families and carers.

About My Lighthouse

My Lighthouse was founded by Alex, Emma, Fred, and Patrick - a team with deep experience across care delivery, healthcare innovation, and technology, alongside personal experience supporting family members through home care.

We understand how care works day to day. We’ve worked inside traditional care agencies and the NHS and built companies that enhance families’ lives. We’ve seen what helps - and where existing models create unnecessary cost, rigidity, and stress.

We’ve also built modern healthcare companies that empower people, remove barriers, and challenge systems that haven’t kept up with real life.

That combination is why My Lighthouse exists.

We bring practical care expertise and fresh thinking to help families and carers work together with confidence - without unnecessary intermediaries, loss of control, or inflated fees.

Find carers simply.
With no agency fees.
