About DCC South Home Care

DCC South Derbyshire Home Care provides support to people in their own homes in Swadlincote and the surrounding part of South Derbyshire. We work with older people and younger adults. A great deal of our work is about helping somebody get back to managing for themselves rather than settling into being looked after. Often people come to us after a spell in hospital, an illness or a fall, when confidence has taken a knock and the ordinary business of the day has become daunting. We work on what somebody wants to be able to do alone, we practise it with them rather than around them, and we step back as they take it on. Where ongoing support is genuinely needed, we provide it honestly and review it as circumstances change rather than leaving an arrangement in place because it is already there. Visits can cover help with washing and dressing, medicines, meals, the household and shopping, and support to get out to appointments and to see people. We agree the plan with the person, and with family where that is wanted, and we keep the team around each person small so faces stay familiar. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask the people we support what they make of us, and we act on the answers.
