Hello, I’m Ellie, the founder of Ellie-vate Home Support. Caring for others has always been a part of who I am, but the reason I started this service is deeply personal.
Recently, I became the primary carer for both my grandparents during the final months of my grandmother’s life. She was 93 and vulnerable to strokes and falls, and my grandfather is 95 and living with advanced early-onset Alzheimer’s. They were both house-bound, and I supported them every day — helping with personal care, preparing meals, managing laundry and household tasks, attending appointments, liaising with healthcare professionals, and providing companionship and reassurance.
Those four months changed me. They showed me the true meaning of dignity, patience, respect and presence. They also revealed how vital it is for families to have someone they trust, someone who shows up with kindness, calmness, and genuine care.
That experience inspired me to create Ellie-vate Home Support — a service designed to help adults remain independent, comfortable and supported in their own home. I now provide the same level of warmth and commitment I gave to my grandparents: practical assistance, emotional connection, and day-to-day support that makes life easier and more enjoyable.
Whether I’m helping with domestic tasks, offering companionship, supporting appointments, providing medication prompts, or engaging in creative wellbeing activities like arts and crafts therapy, my goal is simple:
to elevate everyday living with care and kindness.
