Who are our live-in carers?
We expect a high level of performance from your carer. From background checks and in-person assessments to the most basic and effective question: “Would I trust this person to look after my mother?”
You can be confident that if you choose us, you will be assigned a fully qualified live-in carer.
To keep their skills up-to-date with industry best practices, they receive in-house expert introduction training as well as ongoing refresher training.
They have been thoroughly vetted, interviewed, and have received an enhanced check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). They will always be on time, will greet you with a friendly smile, and will always be courteous and helpful. We only hire people we would want to look after our own family.
