About Us


ALTERNATIVE CARE..

Alternative Care was established in 1987 after its founder identified an ALTERNATIVE to residential care. He found that most people would opt to stay in their own homes, if only there were someone to do the little things that were becoming difficult to manage all by ones-self. Sometimes this meant helping with personal care tasks, for example: assisting with washing and dressing. Sometimes all that would be required was to help with the heavier tasks which fell into more of a need for a domestic service, for example: pushing a vacuum cleaner around the main room or ironing etc. In any event CARE became the denominator and hence, the birth of the company.

Subsequent years have seen the company develop gradually, adapting its management and staffing structure along the way, the business remained small until the 90’s when it began to work in partnership with local Social Services departments. This was when responsibility for community care was given to the local authorities with the introduction of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990.To date Alternative Care continues to contract with local authorities and provides its service following a plan centred around personal needs assessment.

The company prides itself on offering the very best in care, not only to the individual but also to family carers and relatives too. Over the years we have seen many new concepts and strategies within the care profession but our main aim has always been to provide you with a service tailored for you. We have come to realise that the way forward and to achieve this is to put you first, our service is designed around you and your individual needs, you are the one with that unique need and you and your representatives are the people that we listen to.
