About Caring Connections
Caring Connections Wirral supports people in their own homes in Birkenhead and across the Wirral. We are a home care agency, which means our care workers come to you, and the point of the whole arrangement is that you stay where you want to be. We support older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults. Those are very different kinds of support, so we start with a conversation about how someone lives now rather than with a set package, and we change the arrangement as needs change. Visits might cover personal care, support with medication, meals and shopping, help around the house, or company for somebody who would otherwise spend the day alone. We try hard to keep the same care workers with the same people, because that is what allows someone to notice a change early and act on it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We would rather be upfront about that. We know the areas where we were not good enough, we are working on them with our team, and if you are considering us we will talk you through exactly what has changed. If you are looking into care for yourself or a relative, please ring us and we will give you a straight answer.
