About Shirecare
We provide care at home in Heanor and the surrounding parts of Derbyshire. Our work is with people who want to stay where they are, and with the families who worry about them between visits. We support older adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, those with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. The range means we plan each person's support properly rather than fitting them to a standard pattern. A half hour call to help somebody wash and dress has almost nothing in common with supporting a younger adult towards managing their own flat, and pretending otherwise produces poor care for both. We think the honest measure of a home care agency is whether it turns up. Reliability is unglamorous and it is the whole job. That means recruiting carefully, training properly, not overcommitting, and telling people in advance when something has to change rather than leaving them watching the window. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. We would rather use that as a starting point than a selling point. We ask the people we visit what they think of us, we listen when the answer is uncomfortable, and we change what we are doing when it needs changing.
