TAKING THE WORRY AWAY FROM FAMILY MEMBERS
Once an introduction agency introduces a carer to you and you pay the one-off charge to them
for that service, that is typically the end of their involvement in the arrangement. Families are then
required to supervise, manage and organise all aspects of the care for their loved one, which for
most is time-consuming, frustrating and sometimes unmanageable. Most people who require longterm care will need a team of two carers to provide the support they need. This means you will be
responsible for managing a rota, paying the carer and organising sickness and holiday cover as well
as directing the care. Carers introduced through an introductory agency are self-employed and have
not necessarily had any training before being placed with a client.
With a fully managed and regulated service all these worries are simply taken away and you have
all the reassurance you need about the quality of care being provided and the level of service you
will receive - making life easier for all the family
“THE CALM,
COMPETENT AND FRIENDLY
CARERS HAVE TRANSFORMED
MY RELATIVES LIFE. THERE IS NOTHING
THEY WILL NOT DO FOR HER AND ENSURE
SHE IS CARED FOR IN EVERY WAY. WE
CAN RELAX KNOWING THAT SOMEONE
WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT IS SAFE
AND HAPPY AGAIN.”
