About A1 Care
A1 Care, a family-run business thriving in the scenic Dorset area of southern England, was established in 2020 by a husband-and-wife team. Since then, it has grown into a leading care provider, dedicated to helping individuals maintain their independence at home. Founded on natural empathy and a genuine caring nature, A1 Care offers a warm, family-oriented atmosphere while delivering exceptional customer service and the highest standards of professional care.
In November 2021, A1 Care expanded by welcoming Erlend and KineWiggen to the team, a couple who relocated on a skilled worker visa. With over 16 years of combined experience in the Royal Norwegian Air Force and a strong family background in care, they further strengthened A1 Care’s commitment to excellence.
A1 Care strives to be an industry leader by providing the highest quality care and recognizing the invaluable contributions of its dedicated staff.
