Care At Home

Carer with a pensioner looking after her at home We recognise that your carer is somebody with whom you can feel a special friendship, and for this reason we take great care in selecting a staff member with whom you feel completely comfortable. This is only done with your full consent, and you are free to ask for a change in carer at any time if you so desire it.

You also need to feel confident that we have all the necessary processes in place to enable us to maintain our high standard of care. This information can be found on Our Policies page.

When our staff attend your home they will always be wearing a uniform together with an appropriate Identification Badge with photograph so that he /she is easily identifiable to you. They will knock and not try to gain entry without your permission. Whenever we are entrusted with the keys to your home, staff will always knock when using the key so that you know who is calling.

Careers attending you at your home will not at any time be accompanied by partners, children, friends or pets. If at any time your carer is unable to attend we will always telephone you with the name of the replacement carer.

A care plan, or service user plan, is the key document for your care. We will have assessed areas of risk and identified your needs. This is then recorded on your care plan. We then decide how our staff can properly meet these needs, and this forms your plan of care. Care planning is continuously reviewed because people's needs change, sometimes on a daily basis, and we have to respond to these changes to make sure that we're delivering the right care. We will always seek your opinions and input when developing the care plan, and make changes or amendments to it, to ensure that you are fully satisfied with the care you receive from us.

We also recognise the value of involving your family members, relatives and friends in your care plan, and we will always (with your permission) invite your family and friends to participate in the care planning process.

As we start to work for you, we will be generating a record of visits and tasks performed on a daily basis. You have the right to have access to the care plans and records at any time. Please understand that your carer will need to notify our office of any changes in your condition, or any accidents that you may have had, to ensure that we can maintain the best care options for you.
