Meet Ali
Founder of Link to Care
With over 20 years of experience in the care sector and personal experience navigating this journey, I understand just how emotional and overwhelming these decisions can feel.
Having placed a parent into a care home myself and faced the loss of a parent, I know firsthand the challenges families encounter. That's why I created Link to Care — to provide clear guidance, compassionate support, and peace of mind when you need it most.
Every family has their own story. Link to Care is a personal service — I take your experiences seriously and tailor my support around you, so you never feel alone in making these important decisions.
"You're not just choosing care — you're protecting someone's dignity, wishes, and future. I'll walk with you through every step."
— Ali [Surname], Founder
Ali's Story
Learn more about my journey and why I started Link to Care
I've worked in the care sector for over 20 years, supporting families as they make some of the hardest decisions of their lives. But my understanding goes beyond professional experience — I've also lived it.
I've personally faced the journey of finding the right care home for a parent and experienced the loss of a parent. I know how overwhelming, emotional, and confusing these moments can be. That's why I created Link to Care — to give families the clear guidance, compassionate support, and peace of mind that I wished I had when going through it myself.
Link to Care is a personal service. I know that everyone has their own story and every family faces unique challenges. I take each individual's experience very seriously and always work around your needs, offering tailored guidance and support to help you make the right decisions with confidence.
