About GE-First Healthcare

We provide care and support in people's own homes in Colchester and the surrounding area. We are here for people who want to carry on living in their own place and need some help to make that safe and manageable. Most of our work is with older adults. That can mean a brief call to help with getting up, washing, dressing and medication, help with meals, shopping and household tasks, or longer visits for people who need closer support and company through the day. We ask what somebody actually wants rather than handing them a standard package, and we would sooner change an arrangement that has stopped suiting them than leave it running out of habit. We support people living with dementia, where the most useful thing we bring is a familiar person who is not hurrying and who already knows how this individual likes things done. We also support people with physical disabilities, helping with washing, dressing and mobility while leaving the person in charge of how it is done, and younger adults, whose days are shaped by work, study, family or their own plans. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Please get in touch with any questions.
