About Access for Care

We provide care at home in Brentwood and the surrounding parts of Essex. Those we support include older adults, people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults. We plan each person's support individually, because that range describes lives with very little in common beyond needing a hand with something. Helping an older person stay safely at home and helping a young autistic adult manage their own flat are genuinely different jobs, needing different carers, and a service that pretends otherwise does neither well. The question families ask first is whether we will actually turn up, and they are right to. We keep rounds realistic, decline work we cannot staff, and give notice when something must change. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather say so plainly than write around it. Until we have one, families are welcome to ask how we recruit, train and check the carers we send, to meet them before any care begins, and to judge us on what they actually find.
