You may decide that only a small amount of help is needed. By offering a range of care services, Acquire Care is able to make your wish of staying in your own home, amongst your family and friends, a reality. Acquire Care will allow you to maintain your independence in a dignified manner.
Hourly Care is a tailor-made package of visits where general every day and personal care tasks can be completed for you depending on the level of help required. This can be from a short visit up to as many hours as is requested. Our Care Packages are all different. Special attention is given to each one so that it is bespoke to you. It will be tailored to enable you to be as independent as possible but will also give you all the support and care you need.
Training our carers to the highest standard possible is an important part of Acquire Care’s ethos. By having a specialist trainer with in-house training facilities, we ensure that all our carers are fully trained and vetted as required by the Care Quality Commission. This includes the completion of Independent Safeguarding Authority and Disclosure Barring Services checks. These were previously known as Criminal Records Bureau checks. References are also required.
The training covers everything from Moving and Handling, Health and Safety to Food Hygiene and Medication. Throughout their career, our carers will be assessed with on-going training given. This means that as your needs change, the carers will be able to adapt and assist you at all times. Our carers always carry an Acquire Care identification badge and wear an Acquire Care uniform.
Please contact us on 01865 601010 for a free, no-obligation meeting. This will be arranged in your own home at a time that is convenient to you and your family.
