About Forest Homecare

Forest Homecare provides care in people's own homes in Halstead and across the surrounding part of Essex. We support older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability or autism, people managing mental health conditions, and people with physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased about it, but what it really reflects is a set of ordinary things done consistently. Turning up when we said we would. Sending carers people know. Giving those carers enough time to do the visit properly. Listening when somebody tells us something is not working, and changing it. The support itself covers personal care, prompting and support with medication, meals, shopping and housework, and getting out to appointments, work or simply to see people. What that looks like differs from one household to the next, and we plan it with the person rather than for them. Our carers are asked to notice as well as to do. If somebody is eating less, sleeping badly or seeming low, we want to know the same day so that we can speak to a relative or the GP before it becomes something larger. If you are arranging care at home in Essex for yourself or for a relative, please contact us and we will visit and talk it through.
