CARE MANAGEMENT IN ABINGDON

A fully managed and regulated live in care service

We offer fully managed live-in care services in Abingdon, which means that our carers are employed by us whilst they care for you. This gives you or your family the added reassurance of a local care management team of care experts who can provide support to you and your family, as well as the carer providing support. This is unlike introduction agencies who will simply provide you with a carer who you then manage yourself. In addition, we are regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and 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.
