About Cornerstone Authentic Care

At Cornerstone Authentic Care, we provide home care support to people across Nuneaton and the wider Warwickshire area, helping individuals live comfortably and independently in their own homes. We are proud to hold a Good rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine commitment our team brings to every visit and every person we support. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also support people managing eating disorders, and we take care to ensure each person receives support that is genuinely tailored to their circumstances rather than a one size fits all approach. Home care means something different to everyone. For some people it is support with daily routines and personal care. For others it is companionship, help with medication, or assistance getting out and about in the community. Whatever that looks like for the person we are supporting, we aim to fit around their life rather than ask them to fit around ours. We believe that receiving care at home should feel natural and unobtrusive. Our team gets to know the people they support as individuals, understanding their preferences, their routines, and what matters most to them day to day. That consistency and familiarity makes a real difference, particularly for those living with dementia or complex needs where trust and routine are especially important. If you are looking for home care in Nuneaton or the surrounding area, whether for yourself or someone you care about, we would be happy to have a conversation about how we might be able to help. There is no pressure, just an honest discussion about what you need and whether we are the right fit.

More about the care at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Dementia Care at Cornerstone Authentic Care

What helps most in dementia is rarely dramatic: the same carer, the same hour, the same order of doing things. Dementia care is one of the registrations held by Cornerstone Authentic Care. Home keeps the surroundings familiar, although the cooker, the stairs and the front door need revisiting as the condition advances. Ask how carers respond to agitation, to refusal of help, and to the same question asked again and again. It is reasonable to ask what dementia training the staff have had and who supervises them. Decide early how the package would expand if someone could no longer be left on their own.

Home Care at Cornerstone Authentic Care

An hour of care at home costs less than a week in a care home, but twenty hours a week starts to close the gap. Cornerstone Authentic Care in Nuneaton holds a home care registration. Packages are assembled from visits, usually thirty to sixty minutes, and scaled up or down as needs shift. Hourly rates across the West Midlands commonly sit between £26 and £31, which makes the weekly arithmetic worth doing before committing. The service was rated good when the Care Quality Commission inspected in April 2022. Ask for written terms, the minimum call length, and how cover is arranged during holidays.

Older Person Care at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Three visits a day, each half an hour, can be the difference between managing at home and not managing at all. Cornerstone Authentic Care is registered for older person care. Those visits generally cover washing and dressing, prompting medication, preparing food and keeping an eye on how someone is coping. Warwickshire County Council carries out needs and financial assessments and may fund part of a package for those eligible. Ask how the rota is set, how many carers a person will see in a fortnight, and what the agency does about missed calls. Whether evening or night support can be arranged is worth settling early.

Mental Health at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Reliability counts for a great deal where mental health is concerned, because a visit that does not arrive can unsettle a whole week. Mental health falls within the registration held by Cornerstone Authentic Care. Ask what training carers receive, how a crisis is escalated outside office hours, and how the agency coordinates with community mental health services.

Visual and Hearing Impairment at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Habits make the difference with sight and hearing loss: speaking before touching, putting the chair back where it was, facing the person, and never moving the walking stick. Cornerstone Authentic Care is registered to support visual and hearing impairment. Families should ask how communication needs are documented and how an unfamiliar carer is briefed before a first visit.

Younger Adults at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Care arranged for an adult in their thirties or forties has to leave room for work, friends and an ordinary evening out. Younger adults are included in what Cornerstone Authentic Care is registered to support. Ask how far visit times can flex, whether support covers getting to work or appointments, and how quickly the plan can be changed.

Learning Disability and Autism at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Support that works for an autistic adult or someone with a learning disability usually looks unhurried, consistent, and careful about noise, light and touch. Cornerstone Authentic Care is registered for learning disability and autism. Most packages for this group are commissioned by the council against a written plan with reviews, so ask how the person's own wishes are captured in both.

Physical Disability at Cornerstone Authentic Care

Physical disability raises questions about equipment and access long before it raises questions about care: the hoist, the bed, the bathroom, the step at the back door. Physical disability is among the categories Cornerstone Authentic Care is registered for. Check who arranges an occupational therapy assessment, whether carers will use the equipment in place, and how a two person task is staffed.
