About Spectrum Healthcare Services
We are Spectrum Healthcare, based in Barking, and we provide care in people's own homes across Barking and Dagenham. We support older people, including many living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Home care stands or falls on reliability, so that is where our effort goes first. Turning up when we said we would. Sending somebody the person already knows. Telling a family promptly if a visit has to change. None of that is glamorous, but it is what people actually notice, and it is the difference between support that helps and support that becomes another thing to worry about. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to do for yourself, and where would a hand genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be a single short call, several a day, or a longer stretch so that a relative caring full time can get out of the house properly. For people living with dementia, familiarity does more good than anything else we could offer, so continuity of staff is something we work at rather than mention in passing. We have not yet had an overall rating published by the Care Quality Commission. We prefer to say so ourselves, and we welcome close questions about how we recruit and train our carers.
