About In Safe Hands Community Care Services

We provide care at home in Alcester and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire, supporting older adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and younger adults. Our work covers washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and keeping a household ticking over, aimed at what has genuinely become hard rather than at taking over what somebody can still manage themselves. Working across a rural area means being honest about distance. A round that looks efficient on paper falls apart on a wet morning on country lanes, and it is the person waiting to be helped out of bed who pays for that. So we build schedules that survive an ordinary bad day. Isolation is a real part of what we deal with here. For several of the people we visit we are the only caller that day, so we plan enough time for the conversation rather than treating it as optional. With dementia, consistency does most of the work: the same carer at the same time, in the same order, in a home where nothing has been rearranged. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask the people we visit what they think of us and act on the critical answers.
