About Old Friends Care

We are a home care agency in Redditch, supporting people in their own homes across Worcestershire. We work with older people and with younger adults, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Needs that varied cannot be met from a standard package, so we ask first and plan second. For an older person, help often centres on personal care, medication, meals and keeping the house in order. For a younger adult it is more likely to be about independence: running a home, getting to work or college, managing money and keeping appointments. Where someone is living with dementia, a familiar carer who knows their habits does more good than anything written in a plan. Continuity is what we work hardest at. We try to send the same carers to the same households, because that is what allows somebody to notice when a person is unwell, in pain or unusually withdrawn, and it spares people from explaining themselves over and over. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are pleased with that and well aware that a rating describes a particular moment. What keeps it true is the daily work and listening when somebody tells us something is wrong. If you are considering care at home, please get in touch for an honest conversation.
