About Starcover
Caring Comes From The Heart
Starcover Health and Social Care Limited is a CQC-registered provider, founded and led by Registered Nurses and experienced healthcare professionals with a combined clinical experience of over 25 years across the health and social care sector.
We understand high-quality care because we have delivered it firsthand. Our team brings experience from secondary care, community health, supported living, secure mental health services, learning disability services, prison primary care, and we specialise in Treatment of Disease, Disorder, or Injury (TDDI), giving us genuine clinical insight and a strong understanding of complex needs.
Every member of our workforce receives bespoke, role-specific training and is supported by experienced Clinical Leads. Mental health support is led by a qualified Mental Health Specialist Nurse, while complex physical health needs are overseen by a Registered General Nurse.

Our Direct Nurse-led Care Services include:
• Complex physical health support
• Mental health support
• Learning disability services
• Neurodevelopmental condition support
• Community-based support
• Clinical risk management and oversight
• 24/7 care and support services
Our experienced teams work closely with individuals, families, and healthcare professionals to deliver safe, person-centred care that promotes independence, wellbeing, and positive outcomes.
