About Blossom Home Care Durham
Blossom Home Care Durham supports people in their own homes in Newton Aycliffe and across County Durham. We visit older people, adults with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. We work on longer visits than the sector norm, because a great deal of what goes wrong in home care comes down to calls too short to do anything properly. Given time, a carer can help somebody wash without hurrying them, cook a meal that is actually eaten, notice that a person seems unsteady or low, and have the sort of conversation that makes the rest of the day better. The practical work covers personal care, medication, meals, shopping, laundry and housework, and help to get out to appointments or to see people. Where somebody's sight or hearing is failing, it also means describing what is happening, keeping things where they are expected and introducing ourselves properly rather than assuming recognition. We keep our rounds local so calls run to time and people see a small familiar team, and we give notice when a regular carer is away. Carers train before they work alone, are supervised in people's homes afterwards and are expected to raise anything that worries them the same day. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please ring if you would like to talk through support at home.
