About Placid Care
We provide care at home across Thornton Heath and the wider Croydon area, supporting older people, younger adults, people living with dementia or mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and those affected by sight or hearing loss. We work on the basis that people would rather stay where they are. Our visits are arranged around what someone actually needs, which might be help with washing and dressing, prompting and support with medicines, preparing meals, light housework, shopping, or company and a watchful eye for someone who is becoming forgetful. Where a family is doing most of the caring, we fit in around them and take the pressure off at the points in the day that are hardest. Consistency is something we guard carefully. People should not have to explain themselves afresh to a stranger every week, and for someone living with dementia an unfamiliar face at the door can undo a whole morning. We keep teams small and stable around each person. We talk honestly with families about what home care can and cannot do safely, and we raise concerns early rather than waiting for a fall or a hospital admission to force the conversation. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. If you would like to talk about support for yourself or a relative, we are glad to visit, listen and explain clearly what we could offer.
