Mobility And Home Care Under One Roof: Premier Community Opens Alfreton Shop In Its 30th Year


Wednesday 11 Nov 2026

Family-run East Midlands provider has opened its sixth mobility shop on Nottingham Road – the fifth to bring mobility products and home care together under one roof, here with its 120-strong Amber Valley home care team.



ALFRETON, Derbyshire, 4 November 2026 – Premier Community, the family-run home care and mobility provider, has opened its new Mobility Shop at Unit 3, 89 Nottingham Road, Alfreton DE55 7GR. The shop opened its doors to customers on Monday 2 November.


The shop is the company's sixth mobility shop and the fifth to combine mobility retail and home care at one site. Its Amber Valley home care and live-in care team, 120 staff led by Sabrina, is now based in the same building.


That means local people can try a mobility scooter, test a riser recliner and talk through care at home in a single visit. Support ranges from a few visits a week to 24/7 live-in care.


The shop stocks mobility scooters, riser recliners, stairlifts and daily living aids. Customers get face-to-face advice and can try products before they buy, with recommendations shaped around their own routine, lifestyle and challenges.


Daniel Isterling, CEO of Premier Community, said:


"Opening in Alfreton in our 30th year feels really special."


NOW OPEN: The shop opened its doors on Monday 2 November. Visitors are welcome to drop in for a drink and a chat, try scooters and riser recliners, or talk to the team about support at home.


WHY ONE ROOF MATTERS


For many families, the need for a stairlift or riser recliner and the need for help at home arrive at the same time. Premier Community's model means one conversation, one local team and one trusted name for both.


  • For customers: try equipment and discuss care in a single visit, with no need to piece together separate providers.
  • For referrers (GPs, social workers, occupational therapists, discharge teams): one local point of contact for equipment and CQC-regulated home care, from a few visits a week to 24/7 live-in support.
  • For the sector: a working example of retail mobility and regulated care sharing a high-street site, built by a family business with 30 years in the East Midlands.

"Having the care team and the mobility shop side by side means we can spot what someone needs sooner, and help them stay safe and independent at home for longer." – Sabrina, Amber Valley home care lead
