Apollo Care was founded in 2011 by Cheryl White after she had worked in Health and Social Care for many years. During her time working as a Community Nurse, she realised the need for a Home Care provider that focused on flexible, individualised care packages that were tailored to meet the care needs of each individual service user.

While visiting her patients at home, Cheryl had witnessed the effects of social isolation on elderly people in her area and after contacting several providers to try and access support for these people the idea for Apollo Care was born.
