About Amicus Homecare
We are Amicus Homecare, supporting adults in their own homes across Bath and the surrounding area. We support older people, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults who need help with daily life. In practice that means personal care, support with medication, meals, shopping and housework, help getting out to appointments, and the company that often matters as much as any task on a care plan. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you come across it later. We have looked closely at what the inspection found, changed how we plan visits, record care and supervise our staff, and we are open with the people we support about how that work is going. If you are considering us, please ask about it directly. Beyond that, what we ask to be judged on is reliability. Arriving when we said we would. Staying the full agreed time. Sending workers who are familiar rather than a different person each visit. Noticing when somebody is not themselves and telling someone who can act on it. Please ring us if you would like to talk about care at home in Bath.
