About Proper Care
We are Proper Care, a home care provider based in Helston supporting people in their own homes across west Cornwall. We work with older people and people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need support to live independently. Providing care in Cornwall means taking distance and rural isolation seriously. We plan rounds realistically rather than promising a schedule that collapses in bad weather or at the height of the season. For a lot of the people we visit, particularly those living some way from the nearest village, our carer may be the only person they see that day, and we do not treat that lightly. Support ranges from a single morning call through to several visits a day covering personal care, medication, meals and help around the house. Wherever somebody can still do something for themselves, we support them to carry on rather than taking it over. We keep the same carers visiting the same people as far as the rota allows, and our staff are trained and supervised properly. We work alongside district nurses, GPs and social workers where they are involved. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch and we will come out to talk about what would help.
