Mayor celebrates firm’s ‘care at home’ launch

ONE of the UK’s leading providers of nursing and care services has launched its ‘Care at home’ offer in Aylesbury providing a “crucial service” for residents requiring longterm care, during an official event attended by the Mayor.

Care at home is a premium homecare service provided by Nurseplus, which offers fully tailored support and live-in care packages to people across Aylesbury who wish to stay in their own homes, rather than moving to a residential setting.

Alongside an official ribbon cutting by Mayor of Aylesbury, Councillor Tim Dixon, the event included discussions about the service.

A handful of carers were also in attendance to talk about their day-today work and how they can support those in need.

Nurseplus CEO Joshua Collins said: “Care is at the heart of everything we do at Nurseplus.

“Being able to support families and their loved ones is massively important to us which is why we are expanding our care at home service to more of our existing branches across the country.

“Care at home offers a wider range of traditional homecare with a strong focus on companionship which we have designed to combat loneliness and improve our clients’ wellbeing.”

The event also shone a spotlight on the job opportunities presented by care at home, which include a range of home carer roles such as companionship, complex care and live-in care.

“The nature of the service means Nurseplus is able to recruit specifically for each package making the process more transparent and allows carers to know exactly what type of care they will be offering and where.

Care at home is targeted at people who require care calls of two hours or more, whether that be for companionship and support or more complex care.

The service features an enhanced client matching programme so homecare workers are placed with clients based on clinical needs as well as their likes, dislikes, hobbies and interests.

The service was recently launched in Cambridge and Bristol and is already in operation in Kent, Devon, Dorset, Cornwall, East Sussex, Essex, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
