About Metropolitan Care Services

We are Metropolitan Care, based in Barking, and we provide care in people's own homes across Barking and Dagenham. Our work is with older people who need support to carry on living where they are. We do this rather than anything else because home is worth keeping. Your own routine, your own kitchen, the neighbours who notice when the curtains stay shut, the freedom to please yourself about when to get up and what to have for tea. Losing those things is a real loss, and it can very often be put off for a long while with support that is reliable and well matched. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to manage yourself, and where would a hand genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be a single short call, several a day, or a longer stretch so that a relative caring full time can get out of the house properly. We expect to revise the plan as needs move, because they do. Support might mean help with washing and dressing, a prompt and a check with medication, a meal cooked and eaten with company, help getting safely about, or assistance with shopping and appointments. We keep the same carers going to the same households wherever the rota allows, because care is easier to accept from somebody you recognise. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do ring us and ask us anything.
