SIMON
Our original founder in 2011 was Simon Jessop a qualified Social Worker who accumulated over 40 years of health and social care experience in the UK and America. Simon had consistent feedback from customers, patients and their families about how the care system could improve and offer them more. Simon simply put these recommended services together to deliver the best support and secure a strong loyal customer base which we have today.

Carrie
I am the CEO of Age Care Advice and have 30 plus years’ experience in Health and Social Care. I have been working with Age Care Advice since 2018.
My Auntie who had dementia lived with me for seven years, so I know first-hand what it’s like to be a carer. I am also a registered Carer for children with additional needs on behalf of the Cambridgeshire local authority.
I love everything about what we do at Age Care Advice and for me seeing the difference we make to people’s life’s is absolutely everything.
