About Sagecare
Sagecare in Biggleswade provides care and support to people in their own homes across Central Bedfordshire. We work with older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia or with mental ill health, people with a learning disability, people who are autistic, people with a physical disability or a sensory impairment, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug use. We should be plain about our regulatory position. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around it. We have accepted the findings, we are working through an improvement plan, and we have made changes to how we recruit, train and supervise our carers and to how we check that visits happen properly and on time. The daily work continues while we do that. Our carers help people with washing and dressing, medication, meals, housework, shopping and getting out of the house, and they provide dependable cover for family carers who need to work or rest. If you are considering us, please ask about the rating, ask what has changed and ask to speak to the manager. We would rather answer those questions directly than have anybody rely on a brochure, and we will always be straight with you about what we can and cannot do.
