While each home care worker is different, they all share the same key core skills and qualities.
Our home care teams do an amazing job. They care for hundreds of people every day, who all have a vast range of different care needs. And they do it with a smile, patience and tons of kindness!
While each home care worker is different, they all share the same key core skills and qualities.
We recruit people who have the right values and are:
And ultimately, people who have a good heart.
Home care can be relatively simple, like helping you get up and about in the morning, making sure you take your medication at the right time, feeding pets or helping you move around the house. Or it could be more complex high-dependency 24-hour home care.
Our service is flexible and we match the care and the care worker to you. We do an initial assessment of what you need, then plan your care around those needs. We keep the plan under review – it can change as often as you need it to. We’ll always provide care and support in a way that has been agreed with you.
As well as practical support with personal care or domestic tasks we can support you with social, leisure and recreational activities. This could be just taking time for a chat or helping you get out and about to events, the shops or whatever you choose. We will work with you and your family to get it right.
If you think home care could help you or a family member live independently at home – either right now, or in the future, call us on 01305 769 418. We’re happy to talk through the options and costs with you.
All our staff go on an intensive three-day Agincare induction before starting. Training covers moving and handling, safe handling of medicines, infection control, fire awareness and food hygiene, followed by a 12-week induction and training period.
Once our care staff have successfully completed a six-month probation they have the option to move on to a QCF Level 2 or 3 qualification and above in health and social care. We supply training and support to Level 5 and upwards within Agincare, with room for growth and career progression.
We’re incredibly proud of our teams, but don’t just take our word for how great they are. We’ve gathered some client feedback here, to give you an idea of how our home care staff make a positive difference to people’s lives:
