Serendip Home Care was established in 2018 and originated in Milford on Sea.

At first, Serendip was created to support individuals in their home while waiting for placement to our sister company Hillyfield Rest Home.

With growing needs of the community Serendip soon became its own independent service which quickly flourished.

Serendip has relocated its Head Office to Ashley in New Milton to become more visible and accessible to the community in a prime location.

Serendip provides various services tailored to the individual needs to create person centered packages of care.
