With 1st Homecare’s passion for care, years of experience and industry knowledge we have learnt there are three key areas to building a first class service for our clients.
From our state of the art scheduling systems to our new ‘ACCESS’ app, we are constantly looking at new ways to enhance our service and improve the care of our clients.
WHY CHOOSE 1ST HOMECARE
We believe that a key difference at 1st Homecare is that our carers are the best they can be. Every 1st Homecare carer is provided with full training and induction for which they are paid, unlike some other care providers.
WHY CHOOSE 1ST HOMECARE
Our carers are not ‘just carers’. They are often the only people our clients see all day. As one client said ‘They always arrive with a smile on their faces and bring life to what otherwise are often long and empty days’; so we always pick them very carefully.
WHY CHOOSE 1ST HOMECARE
“Having never dealt with any care providers before we were unsure of the process involved but after speaking to the assessor firstly on the phone and then in person at my parent’s home, we were relieved to find that she could answer all our various concerns. She took the time to discover as much as she could about Mum and her needs. Mum was initially reluctant to have help in the house but has settled quickly into the new routine and tells me quite happily who has visited and how they helped her during the visit. The assessor has kept in regular contact making sure everything is okay and I find the app a real bonus as I can keep an eye on Mum while I’m at work.”
“Please accept my sincere thanks and gratitude for the care shown to Mum by all the staff at 1st Homecare. You made a huge difference to her in the last few weeks of her life. All the carers were kind, considerate and treated mum as an individual. It was always pleasing for me to watch how careful they were with her. She was in a lot of pain & hated being dependent on others. Caring is a vastly underrated profession and you should be congratulated on the quality of the people you have recruited & their training.”
“Throughout the past 18 months or more the company has managed to continue a a constant provision of care throughout the most extreme of circumstances. The pandemic has wrought havoc to commerce and families yet, somehow, 1st Homecare have battled on, bringing social care to those who desperately need it. A huge gratitude of thanks to all involved.”
“1st Homecare started visiting Mum at the beginning of 2020 and whilst she was initially very resistant to any form of help at home, they helped make changes and won Mum over. They are professional, adaptable, flexible and excellent with feedback. There is an app families can use to see notes from each visit, which is brilliant. I would highly recommend 1st Homecare.”
“I cannot praise the carers too highly, they are without exception not only kind and caring but always cheerful. It’s always a pleasure to see them, they are a breath of fresh air.”
“1st Homecare work extremely hard to assist us as a family. They are easy to contact, informative and helpful. It also makes a huge difference to be able to rely on their punctuality and professionalism. The quality of care has been extremely high and we would recommend 1st Homecare without hesitation.”
“1st Homecare are kind and caring. They have encouraged my Dad to be independent where possible and remain patient when he is struggling. And they are excellent at communicating with me.”
“Angels in disguise. Wonderful support. I can’t tell you the relief to know there is someone there three times a day.”
“ The carers at 1st Homecare have been lively, supportive, understanding and funny but above all caring and warm.”
“I am very delighted by the skill and competence of every carer who helps me. I am so pleased to recommend 1st Homecare to whomever I may talk to on this matter. I have brain damage and I trust this agency with my care and treatment.”
