About I Care (GB)

I Care (GB) in Blackburn provides care and support to people in their own homes across Blackburn with Darwen. We are a home care agency, which means our work happens on your terms and in your house. We support a wide range of people. Older people who need help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and getting out. People living with dementia, supported by a consistent team who learn the person rather than just the plan. Adults with learning disabilities and autism, and younger adults who want support arranged around work, study or family life. People with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. We also support people managing mental health conditions, people affected by eating disorders, and people working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs, and in all of that our approach is the same: agree the plan together, keep it under review, and do not judge. Visits can be short daily calls or a fuller package across the day. What we will not do is promise a level of support we cannot reliably staff. If we can cover it we will say so, and if we cannot we will tell you that rather than letting you down later. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to discuss support for yourself or a relative, please get in touch.
