About Eskcare

Eskcare provides care to older people in their own homes across Carlisle and the surrounding area. Home care is a simple idea that is difficult to do well. Somebody needs to arrive when they said they would, know what they are doing, know the person they are visiting, and notice when something has changed. That is the whole job, and it is where we put our attention. Visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals and drinks, help around the house and with shopping, and support to get out to appointments or simply out of the front door for a while. Some people want us briefly each morning, others need support through the day, and plenty of arrangements sit somewhere in between. We agree the shape of it with the person, and with family where they want that, then adjust it as circumstances change. We keep teams small and consistent, because letting somebody into your home to help you wash and dress asks a good deal of trust, and that trust is built by familiar faces rather than by policies. It also means somebody notices when a person is not quite right, which is often what prevents a hospital admission. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
