About Crescent Homecare
Crescent Homecare is a home care agency based in Durham, supporting adults in their own homes across County Durham. We support people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability or a sensory impairment, people managing a mental health condition, people living with an eating disorder, and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. It is a wide brief, and it means our care workers are matched to people thoughtfully and trained for the situations they will actually meet. Good home care is built on knowing somebody. A care worker who has visited the same person for months notices the change in them that a stranger would walk past, and that noticing is often what keeps a person out of hospital. So we protect continuity, keep visiting teams small and make sure the written plan reflects how the person really lives rather than how a form wants them described. We are also clear about the limits of what we do. Where somebody needs more than we can safely provide, we say so and help them find the right support instead. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We take that as a reason to be more careful rather than less, because the standard is far easier to reach than it is to hold. If you are arranging care at home in County Durham, please get in touch.
