My mum was clear: she wanted to stay at home. Home meant the world to her.

As her son, I began helping wherever I could. I sorted her paperwork and researched how to get her affairs in order.

She started to get some home care, but the difficulty with traditional home care was that a different person turned up every time. Mum didn't feel safe having a stranger let themselves in with a key, at ever-changing appointment times. It didn’t give me peace of mind either during my working day.

I then founded Hemby, so my mum could carry on living at home. She was our very first client.

Through Hemby she got a dedicated care assistant — her own helper — who also cleaned the house a couple of times a month. Every visit was scheduled in advance and visible in the app, letting our whole family breathe a little easier.

Today, Hemby has helped over 10,000 clients. We operate across London and employ a large team of assistants and carers who've become like family to the people they look after.'

Through Hemby, I hope as many people as possible can stay at home even when daily life gets harder. And that their loved ones get peace of mind.
