Home care in Derbyshire

Carefound Home Care specialises in providing highly personalised care at home to older people enabling clients to continue to live in the comfort of their own home with expert, one-to-one support on-hand. Our home carers are extensively vetted and trained by our local care management team and can provide anything from basic domestic help, companionship, medication help through to personal care. Our staff are also specially trained in supporting complex conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke care and end-of-life care. Our support is available on both a permanent or short-term respite basis and we offer unrivalled levels of local support and input to our staff and the families we care for.

Live-in care in Derbyshire

Live in care in Derbyshire is typically provided by a team of two professional home carers who will rotate on a week on / off basis. This ensures that our clients receive genuine continuity of care and our staff can work safely with sufficient rest. All of our carers are fully employed by us, unlike a live-in care introductory agency, meaning that we take full responsibility for assessing, training and supporting our team. All of our staff undergo a thorough recruitment process including interviews, Enhanced DBS criminal record checks, employment and personal references. They also attend our comprehensive in-house induction training course, including shadowing existing members of our care team, before entering onto our mentoring and supervision programme.

All of our clients, the families we support and our carers are provided with 24/7 support and advice from our care management team based in West Bridgford. This includes weekly support visits in the client’s home, regular contact with the family and checks with the client’s GP. This is a key way we separate ourselves from some of the larger national providers of live-in care in the UK.

Areas in Derbyshire our live-in care service is available include: Ashbourne, Belper, Burnaston, Burton Upon Trent, Buxton, Chaddesden, Chellaston, Derby, Elvaston, Findern, Ilkeston, Littleover, Oakwood, Ripley, Spondon, Sunny Hill.

Local, qualified home carers in Derbyshire

We invest heavily in the recruitment and training of only the best live-in carers who are carefully matched to our clients according to skills, interests and personalities. We also provide our clients and our staff with a leading 24/7 support service from our local office in West Bridgford, which includes weekly support visits from our care management team in the client’s home to ensure the care package is working well – this is key in differentiating us from large national live-in care providers.

Typically, you will be supported by two live-in carers who rotate on a one or two week on / off basis. This provides continuity of care and sufficient rest for your carer. All care is based on a comprehensive assessment of your needs and a care plan which is tailored to your needs and agreed with you. Of course, we also introduce your carer to you before care begins. Our local care management team will then keep in close contact with you, your family and your GP (as appropriate) and carry out regular quality assurance checks.
