About Alpha Home Assist
Alpha Home Assist supports adults at home across Blackburn with Darwen. We help people stay in their own surroundings with support built around their circumstances rather than around a standard package. The people we work with include older people, many living with dementia, adults with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment, people managing a mental health condition, people living with an eating disorder and younger adults. That range means we listen carefully before we plan anything, because assumptions are the fastest way to get support wrong. Visits can cover personal care, prompting and help with medication, cooking and meals, housework and laundry, mobility support, getting to appointments and simple company. Some people want a short daily call. Others need considerably more, and we are set up to provide it. Continuity is what families raise with us most often, so we build rotas around familiar faces wherever the schedule allows and we tell people honestly when a change cannot be helped. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take it as a baseline and keep asking the people we support whether their experience matches it. If you are thinking about home care in Lancashire, we are glad to visit, answer questions plainly and say if another service would suit you better.
