Why have care at home?
United Kingdom Homecare Association Ltd (UKHCA) defines home care as a social, personal care, nursing or domestic service that is usually delivered in the service user's home. It is estimated that over half a million people receive care in the home every year, with that number set to top 1 million in the not too distant future. Care at home can be beneficial to both clients and their families Some of the advantages include:
- Enabling clients to receive personalised care and attention they need so they can stay safe and well
- Allowing clients to stay in familiar surroundings where they are happy and comfortable
- Giving the clients family peace of mind that their loved ones are looked after and in good hands
- Facilitating more cost effective care than clients would receive in residential care
- Enabling clients to maintain maximum independence but still aid them where assistance is needed
- Giving the client companionship and conversation to avoid loneliness and depression
How we select our carers
Our carers are selected if they possess the appropriate skills, empathy and compassion to deliver the highest standard of care. Once the carer has been recruited we continually observe their performance through regular client feedback and spot checks. We ensure all training is being followed and clients are happy with the care they are receiving.
This enables us to employ competent, caring, well trained individuals who are very responsive to the individual needs of the clients and their families.
Clients and family members can be assured they are in safe hands.
We recognise, acknowledge and reward our care staff for excellent performance and best practice, along with going above and beyond for our clients.
