Home Care

Altham Care, has provided care in Lancashire for over 26 years, in this time, there has been many changes in the way that care is accessed and delivered.

As we are all aware, people want to be cared for in the a place they can call home, and choose the right care for each individual, all too often, you have no control of who walks through your front door, you have had no input in the people who deliver your care, and examples of people who receive 3 visits per day having up to 21 different people delivering your care each week are all too common. Recent changes means, with payments now available direct to you, the place and type of care you receive is in your control.

You can choose the time, type and personal assistant of your choice, however, as always, there are pitfalls, how do you recruit the right person to deliver your care, how do you know if their references are genuine?, do they have a criminal background?, have the been placed on the vetting and barring  register? Are you breaking the law employing them?

We can offer assistance in recruiting, using our many year of experience, we can assist you in finding the right personal assistant to deliver your care, help with job descriptions, contracts of employment, criminal record checks, advertising posts, interviewing, tax and national insurance, holiday pay and full payroll service, health and safety, moving and handling, medication and dementia care training and much more.
