About Optimum Care (GL)
We at Optimum Care (GL) are a home care agency based in Barking, providing compassionate support to people in their own homes across the local community. Our mission is simple: to help you or your loved one live safely, comfortably and independently, whilst receiving the personalised home care that truly makes a difference. Operating from within the IG postcode area, we serve residents throughout Barking and the wider borough of Barking and Dagenham. Because our care comes to you, the familiar surroundings of your own home become the setting for support, meaning you can continue to enjoy the routines, memories and neighbourhood you love without disruption. Our team offers a broad range of specialised support tailored to individual needs. We provide older person care and dementia care for those who benefit from gentle, patient assistance with daily living, memory support and companionship. For adults living with a learning disability or autism, we focus on enabling independence, choice and confidence in everyday routines. We also support people with mental health needs, offering a calm and consistent presence that promotes wellbeing and stability. In addition, we care for individuals with physical disabilities and those with visual or hearing impairments, adapting our approach to ensure communication, mobility and comfort are always prioritised. Our support extends to younger adults too, recognising that home care is not defined by age but by the desire to live life on one's own terms with the right help at the right time. In practice, this means our care workers become trusted companions to the people they support. Families can feel reassured knowing that whether it's help with personal care, medication prompts, meal preparation, mobility support or simply a friendly chat, everything is delivered with dignity, respect and a genuine understanding of what matters most to each person. Following our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection in December 2019, we received an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within this, we are proud that inspectors rated us Good across the Effective, Caring and Responsive domains, recognising the warmth, skill and person centred approach of our team. We acknowledge that the Safe and Well-led areas were identified as requiring improvement, and we take that feedback seriously as part of our ongoing commitment to raising standards. Continuous learning and open dialogue with families and regulators sit at the heart of how we grow. Choosing home care is a deeply personal decision, and we understand the questions and concerns that families face when looking for the right support for someone they love. We are here to listen, to answer honestly, and to build a package of care that truly reflects the individual behind every referral.
