About Alcedo Care

Alcedo Care Preston provides care and support to people in their own homes in Preston and the surrounding part of Lancashire. The people we work with include older people, younger adults, people living with dementia, people with learning disabilities, autistic people, people managing mental health conditions or an eating disorder, people with physical disabilities or with sight or hearing loss, and people recovering from problems with alcohol or drugs. That is a wide range of need, and what holds it together is that we start from the person rather than from a package we happen to offer. We visit first, listen properly, and agree what help is wanted, how often and who will provide it, with family or an advocate involved whenever somebody wants them there. Reliability is the substance of this work. Arriving when we said we would, with somebody who already knows the household, is worth more than anything we could claim here. So we keep teams small and local, brief staff properly before they start with somebody new, and avoid unannounced substitutions. Where a person's needs call for particular knowledge, whether that is recovery from addiction, an eating disorder, advanced dementia or a way of communicating that is not speech, we make sure the people visiting understand it and we work alongside the relevant clinical and community teams rather than around them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support.
