TWO friends have set up in business to help care for older people in their own homes.

Sylwia Sawa and Remi Grigusliene have started a Brent branch of Home Instead Senior Care, hoping to create 50 jobs in the area in the next 12 months.

The former colleagues will offer at-home non-medical services for older people, including personal care, companionship, home help and specialist support for those with dementia.

Sylwia said: “Remi and I both have complementary skills and were keen to work together to make a difference for people living in our local area.”

They are now looking for people to join their caring team. For information, call 020 8952 3355 or visit www.homeinstead.co.uk/brent.
