Lago Homecare is an independent, community-based provider of exceptional care at home across Teesside and North Yorkshire.

Services can range from 30 minutes up to 24-hour live-in care and can be tailored to care and support needs of varying complexities.

A service user may need help showering, getting dressed, or with other elements of their personal care. They may instead be recovering from a stay in hospital and require reablement care and support through discharge back into their home. Perhaps it is the family and loved ones with existing care responsibilities who need respite care and support to provide them with the time and space for recuperation.

Lago Homecare can also provide high quality care and support to those living with learning disabilities. This is always delivered with the service user at the heart of what they do, and with a keen focus on outcomes-based care and support.

Staff at Lago Homecare are comprehensively trained before delivering any care and support, with any service user-specific training undertaken before the care and support plan starts.

Lago Homecare is committed to fairly rewarding staff for their highly valued work and is accredited by the Living Wage Foundation as a Living Wage Employer. Valuing service users and staff equally enables a sustainable model of care and support that achieves the best outcomes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the time Lago started caring for my husband, they were kind, caring and compassionate. They provided an excellent standard of care, changing his care plan as his needs changed. They are observant of any concerns, getting medical attention when needed. When my husband was very poorly, they stayed
past their working hours late at night. They also made sure I was ok at every visit. They treated my husband with dignity and respect. As my husband nears the end of his life, I could not have asked for any better care. I can't thank them enough.

A professional and caring service. Management and staff really care. My parents have been treated with great care and dignity. Management have been very responsive and supportive to the specific care needs and have expertly navigated changing care needs as their circumstances have evolved. Staff have
all been excellent and consistent in the care and support provided. As well as providing personal care needs with great kindness and compassion, they are proactive in providing support with meal planning and household chores that had become more of a challenge for my parents.
All visits are thoroughly documented through an app and we are able to see notes on each visit. This has been able to give us great comfort. I would thoroughly recommend the service to anyone with care needs that would like to stay in their home.
Reply from Ian Cameron, Director at Lago Homecare - Yarm OfficeThank you for you extremely kind and positive words about our team. I know they continue to take pride in what they do and provide service users with a truly caring and dignified service. I will be sure to share this lovely review with them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent service provided by Lago. Carers are very chatty and friendly nothing is too much trouble for them. They have taken time to get to know mam and her 'little ways' and are always alert for any signs that she may not be well. This has meant we have been able to get medical attention for her quickly.
The communication between family and office is excellent and we feel comfortable discussing mams needs and fears with them. We have had bad experiences previously with carers so I was uneasy to begin with but Lago have been amazing with mam and put us all at ease. I'm happy to go away now knowing she is in good hands. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for care for loved ones.
Reply from Ian Cameron, Director at Lago Homecare - Yarm OfficeThank you so much for your very kind words about the whole Lago team. I know that they have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know mum and continuing to provide her care and support. Thank you also for your really positive recommendation to others.

Lago Homecare have been providing support for my father on a daily basis for the past 4 months
After an initial enquiry they formulated a care plan and were extremely quick at putting this into place to allow my father's rapid discharge from hospital.
The staff are reliable, punctual, compassionate
and are proving to be a great support.
Lesley communicates any concerns they may have which is so helpful in keeping my dad safe and cared for.

Cannot praise all the staff that help my father-in law daily . It has been so wonderful knowing he is getting the right support & care , we can relax more with being able to read his daily reports from Lago & has helped us massively with knowing what care if any that he will need from us. We only have
Lago come in for half hour a day to help & within that time they take such good care of my father - in law, he really enjoys seeing them & having a little joke with them all. They always take the time to make my mother -in- law a tea also even tho it is only my father-in-law that needs the care. I would recommend anyone looking for help to Lago homecare. Everything has been very professional from the start & we look forward to continuing with them over the coming years.
Reply from Ian Cameron, Director at Lago Homecare - Yarm OfficeThank you very much for your kind words about our entire team - they are greatly appreciated. We look forward to continuing to build a great relationship. Thank you also for your very positive recommendation to others.

I got in touch with Lago homecare to arrange care for my mum after a stroke and to give me a little break as I am working full time and was finding it hard to fit everything in they were very quick to meet and discuss my mums needs and the carers have been very helpful with mum they are very friendly
and will always have a chat with her once they have done their jobs and it's peace of mind for me knowing my mums safe while I'm at work. Would definitely recommend Lago homecare

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I organised respite care for my mum to cover a long planned short break. This is the first time I've organised care and the first time mum has had experience of a carer coming in daily


From first contact with Lago Homecare, my queries were answered quickly and in depth. A meeting was arranged

with the Care Manager, my mum and myself whereupon a comprehensive questionnaire was completed covering her care needs, medication and exactly what would be required during a carers visit


Neither myself or mum have any complaints about the quality of the care provision. Mum was treated with respect and compassion. Having the same person call in each day provided continuity and routine.


The App was very useful to check on how the daily visit had been and whether there had been any issues. It would have been helpful if the App had stayed live until the end of the final day


I would have no hesitation in using Lago Homecare again and would happily recommend the Company to others

Reply from Ian Cameron, Director at Lago Homecare - Yarm OfficeThank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review - it is massively appreciated. We are glad that we were able to make yours and mum's experience of care so positive. We will share this review with the whole team!

I am 87 and my wife is 85, she has been my carer for 4 years following lung cancer and spinal surgery. Our family told my wife she should get help. We selected Lago and had a home visit. I agreed a care package of 1 day of 3/4 of an hour for showering, washing, dressing and bed making. The other two
days of half an hour for dressing, washing, and bed making. The carers are professional and very caring and have become our friends. They are always on time and have proved reliable. We often have a laugh and plenty of chit chat. I would recommend Lago to anybody.

Friendly, reliable, helpful and flexible care providers. Cannot fault Lago Homecare for the service they have offered. They have always bent over backwards to accommodate my parents' needs, including some last-minute bookings. My parents also appreciate the continuity of staff that Lago have been able
to offer: other companies offered to cover the visits with up to eight or even ten staff members, Lago have done so with two, which has helped my parents form a bond with their carers and made things much easier for my father, who has Alzheimer's.

After using Lago Homecare for the past few months I cannot praise them enough for the way they have treated me. Everyone is kind, caring and professional allowing me to recover from my surgery with dignity and enabling me to make progress at my own pace. They are also flexible enough so that my daily
routine can be adjusted when needed eg for hospital appointments. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

We are relieved to have found such a great care provider as Lago Homecare. At one of the most difficult times of our lives, they have been willing to do so much to support us and we have received excellent care. Making contact with Lago is easy and quick.

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.989 for Lago Homecare - Yarm Office is calculated as follows: ( (91 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.989

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Lago Homecare - Yarm Office is based on 16 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4.9
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Ian Cameron

Job Title: Director / Nominated Individual Joined: 2023

Before founding Lago Homecare I worked in accountancy and finance for 9 years, qualifying as a Chartered Accountant in 2019.


I developed skills and experience in that time but my real passion was in managing and leading people. I also wanted to leave work every day feeling that I was making a positive difference.


I moved into the care sector because of the influence of my grandparents on my life, and also because I believe that there is an opportunity to build a different kind of care provider - one that prioritises quality of care and their staff equally.


I have no doubt that you will receive the highest quality care and support from us. Our team is built on shared values and a commitment to excellence.


We look forward to speaking to you soon about your care and support needs.

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2024

I began my career in care in 1994 after having my first son. This was working in a local home for people living with chronic neurological conditions, people relearning what they can achieve, and adapting to uncertain futures.


As a carer, I quickly learned my strengths are formed by my values; integrity, compassion, kindness and hope. This was the start of what has now been a 30-year career, caring for and supporting people with various needs - older people, people living with dementia, people experiencing severe and enduring mental health issues, and people living with various learning disabilities.


I hold current Level 5 Diplomas in Health and Social Care and also Operations and Departmental Management. I am a dementia and sensory champion and hold a suite of mandatory and specialist care training certificates.
