We are different to a care agency because our service allows you to choose the individual that provides the support you want. We understand the importance of keeping your independence, to be connected to your local community, and to trust that the support you want will come exactly when you choose.
We are there at the end of the phone because we know the only way to find the support you want and need is to personally speak with you; we spend the time to get to know you so we can understand your requirements. You will then have the opportunity to speak to each of the PAs that match to your specific needs. The choice of which PA you engage with is always your decision.
We only work with Personal Assistants who are approved members of the Quality Care Approval Scheme (QCAS). This means they have completed all training subjects such as First Aid, Food Hygiene, Manual Handling, plus many more! QCAS checks don’t stop there, all approved PAs have been checked and verified which means they are approved to work in the UK, have a conviction free DBS and have written references which are verified in person. You can rest assured your care is in safe hands.
A Personal Assistant can help you with home visits, it’s not rushed so you will really get to know your PA and as a result will build a strong long lasting relationship. PAs can help with anything from cleaning, washing, personal care and meal preparation. Personal Assistants can also help you to stay active, to engage with your friends and local community, run daily errands, shopping and collecting prescriptions. They are there to help you with what you want so you can live life to the full.
