About Guardian Homecare (Blackburn)
We are the Blackburn office of Guardian Homecare, based in Darwen, providing care to people in their own homes across the area. We support older people, people living with dementia, autistic adults and adults with a learning disability, people managing mental health conditions including eating disorders, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment, younger adults and people working through difficulties with alcohol or drugs. That breadth means no single way of working will do, so every package is planned individually and we try to be honest about what we are good at. Where someone is living with an eating disorder we are careful about how support around food and mealtimes is offered, because the manner of it can help or do real harm. Where somebody is in recovery we aim to be dependable without being watchful in a way that feels like surveillance. We keep the same carers going to the same people wherever the rota allows. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
