What families and providers can expect
Rather than publish testimonials we cannot evidence, here is what we commit to on every placement.
A named contact
You speak to a consultant who knows your situation, not a rota of call handlers. Our offices are open Monday to Friday 8am–8pm and weekends 10am–9pm.
Vetted before placement
Enhanced DBS, right-to-work verification, references and current professional registration are checked before anyone works with you, and re-checked while they do.
Continuity where possible
We try to send the same Care Professionals to the same people, because familiarity is what makes care work – particularly in dementia and learning disability support.
A straight answer
If we are not the right fit, or cannot cover an area or a need well, we will say so and help you look elsewhere.
Are you a client or a care provider we work with? We would welcome a review – get in touch and we will publish it here with your permission.
