About Shamrock Road
We provide support at home in Gravesend and the surrounding area, working with older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities. Our work is about making it possible for people to live in their own homes and keep as much of their own routine as they can. For somebody whose mobility is affected, that can mean careful help with moving about safely, personal care, meals and the practical business of keeping a household going. For a younger adult it is often as much about getting out: to work, to college, to see people, to do whatever they want to do with their week. What we try hardest to avoid is taking over. Support should leave as much as possible in the hands of the person receiving it, which means asking rather than assuming and agreeing what we do rather than arriving with a plan already written. We keep staffing as consistent as we can, because familiarity makes the practical side easier and spares people from explaining themselves over and over. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission and are glad to discuss that openly. If you would like to talk about support at home, please get in touch.
