About The Leading Care Company

The Leading Care Company supports people in their own homes in Slough and the surrounding area. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, physical disabilities, and sight and hearing loss. We assess at home, with whoever the person wants present, and the conversation is as much about what somebody intends to keep doing for themselves as about what they need from us. The plan is agreed rather than issued and it changes when circumstances do. Support may be a single short call each day, visits at several points for personal care, medication, meals and company, or longer stretches for somebody who should not be alone. Across that spread of needs, training is a practical matter. A carer supporting an autistic person, one supporting somebody in the later stages of dementia and one supporting somebody with poor sight each need different knowledge, and ours have it before they go out to anybody. We hold onto continuity as firmly as the rota allows, because familiarity does more for confidence than any amount of paperwork, and we tell people in advance when a new carer is coming. Families are kept informed and we raise concerns early rather than hoping they pass. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we are glad to talk things through without obligation.
