About IRC Care Services
IRC Care supports people in their own homes in Oxted and the surrounding villages of Surrey. We work mainly with older people and adults living with dementia, and we also support younger adults who need help to manage day to day life. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Good home care starts with listening properly. Before we agree anything we sit down with the person, and with family if they want them there, and work out what would genuinely make a difference. Sometimes the answer is a single call each morning so the day starts well. Sometimes it is regular visits covering personal care, medication, meals and a bit of company. Occasionally the honest answer is that home care is not the right solution, and we will say so. Supporting someone with dementia takes consistency above all, so we keep the rota as steady as we can and we make sure our carers know the person's history, preferences and the things that reassure them. Small changes in mood, appetite or mobility often matter, and we expect our carers to notice and report them rather than wait for a crisis. We keep families informed, we review plans regularly and we welcome being told when something is not right. If you would like to discuss what support might look like, please contact us and we will arrange a visit at a convenient time.
