About Jernice Care

Jernice Care is a home care agency in Corby, visiting older people and younger adults in their own homes across North Northamptonshire. Most of what we do looks unremarkable from outside. Helping somebody out of bed and into the day. A hand with washing and dressing, which protects a good deal more than appearances. Medication at the right time, in the right order, written down honestly. A meal actually cooked rather than something opened and left on a worktop. Shopping, laundry, a kitchen left tidy. Help to move safely about the house. And a quarter of an hour sitting down with a cup of tea when that is what the visit really needs to be. None of it is dramatic, and all of it decides whether somebody can stay in the house they have lived in for years, which is what almost everyone we meet wants. We work hardest at reliability and continuity. Being where we said we would be, at roughly the time we said, with somebody the person recognises. Older people in particular build their day around a visit, and a carer who does not turn up leaves far more than a job undone. For younger adults, we try to arrange support around work or study rather than a timetable that assumes an empty diary. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Ring us and we will talk through what you need, without any pressure to take more than that.

More about the care at Jernice Care

Home Care at Jernice Care

None of it is dramatic, and all of it decides whether somebody can stay in the house they have lived in for years, as this agency puts it. Home care means visits at agreed times in a person's own home, at East Midlands rates typically between £26 and £31 an hour. North Northamptonshire will assess and may fund a package after an assessment. The agency says it works hardest at reliability and continuity, which means being where it said it would be with somebody the person recognises. Ask how visits are recorded, how often the plan is reviewed, and who a relative telephones at the weekend.

Older Person Care at Jernice Care

Helping somebody out of bed and into the day is where this agency starts its own description of the work, which is as good a place as any. After that it lists a hand with washing and dressing, medication at the right time and written down honestly, a meal actually cooked, shopping and laundry, and a kitchen left tidy. Jernice Care says older people build their day around a visit, and that a carer who does not turn up leaves far more than a job undone. Ask how many different carers would come in a fortnight and how long each call lasts. Ask what can be covered in the evening, since overnight support is a separate arrangement.

Younger Adults at Jernice Care

Arranging support around work or study rather than a timetable that assumes an empty diary is what this agency says it tries to do for younger adults. That distinction matters, because a package designed for someone at home all day fits an adult under sixty five badly. Ask whether call times can move with a shift pattern, and whether the same carers can be relied on from week to week.
