Live in Care Berkshire

Live in care you can trust in the home that you love

We have been providing care services throughout Berkshire for over 50 years. Our reputation is built on high standards of live-in care in Berkshire, local expertise and an approach to care delivery that is trusted by families throughout our community and beyond. All our carers are experienced and most have worked for us for many years. They will live with you for a longer period than might be offered by other live-in care providers, which allows for a deeper understanding of our clients’ needs and ensures continuity of care. We are experts in providing specialist care of complex conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those recovering from a stroke or for those who need cancer care or palliative care.

With an Oxford Aunts carer you will be able to live life your way with as much independence as possible, with a tailored plan of care delivered by a compassionate carer on a one-to-one basis – this just simply cannot be offered in a care home.

CARE MANAGEMENT IN BERKSHIRE

A fully managed and regulated live in care service

Our fully managed live-in care service in Berkshire means that all our carers are employed by us whilst they care for you. A local care management team of care experts is on hand to provide support to not just to our clients’ and their family members, but also our carer to ensure the highest quality care is provided. We are also regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), unlike introduction agencies who will simply provide you with a carer for you to manage yourself. We are proud to have been rated ‘Good’ by CQC in all five measures – safe, caring, effective, responsive and well-led. We know our service provides families with peace and mind that their loved one is receiving the best possible care and eases the burden of managing a care arrangement themselves for their loved one.

Expertly trained carers in Berkshire

All our dedicated carers receive marketing leading training developed by care experts, which goes beyond mandatory training. This enables our carers to support those living with complex conditions, such as dementia or Parkinson’s that require more monitoring, care and support. From induction training, into placement and beyond and we ensure our carers continually develop their knowledge and skills so that our clients receive the best possible care now and in the future.

Local, dedicated care management near you

We provide live-in care in Berkshire and its surrounding counties. Each regional team is made up of a dedicated Care Assessor local to you who is on hand to provide an unrivalled level of support to you, your family and our carer. They are supported by a Care Manager at our central office who handles all other aspects of care delivery to ensure a quality service is delivered, every time. Our care management team in Berkshire only has a small portfolio of clients to support, enabling the care team to provide a highly personalised and quality live-in care service in Berkshire and beyond, whilst clients receive more levels of monitoring and day-to-day support.

A multidisciplinary approach

As an established live-in care provider in Berkshire, we have built strong relationships with local healthcare professionals, including GP’s, district nurses, local Clinical Commissioning Groups and other charitable organisations and community healthcare services. This means we can provide a multidisciplinary approach to care at home that is focused on improving health and well-being whilst avoiding any unnecessary hospital admissions and enabling swifter discharge from hospital. We have developed strong relationships with those responsible for hospital discharge at the following hospitals in Berkshire: Royal Berkshire Hospital Berkshire University Hospital
