About GHS - Aston

GHS in Aston provides care and support to people in their own homes across Birmingham. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people who have learning disabilities and autism, with people managing mental health conditions and with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather state that at the outset than have anyone come across it elsewhere. It is not where we intend to be. There is an improvement plan in place, we are working through it, and anybody considering our support should feel free to ask exactly what is being changed, who is responsible for it and what evidence there is that it is making a difference. We will answer plainly rather than in generalities. The work itself continues meanwhile and it matters to the people who depend on it. Our carers help with personal care, medication, meals, household tasks and getting out into the community. The areas we are concentrating on are the foundations of reliable home care, which means consistency of carers, accurate records at every visit and proper oversight of what actually happens.
