About Candid Health & Social Care
Candid Health and Social Care provides support to people in their own homes across Barking and Dagenham and the surrounding parts of east London. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism, and people with a physical disability. Visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals and drinks, help around the house and with shopping, and support to get out to appointments or into the community. We agree the shape of it with the person, and with family where they want that, then adjust it as circumstances change. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We would rather say that plainly than leave you to find it somewhere else. We know which areas were raised, we have work under way, and we will go through the detail with anyone considering us or already using us. Families trusting a stranger with a relative's care deserve straight answers far more than they deserve a polished paragraph. What we can commit to is being clear about what we can and cannot do, telling you promptly when something has gone wrong and what we are doing about it, and saying so honestly if somebody needs more support than we are the right people to provide. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss care at home in east London.
