About Academy Homecare Services
Academy Homecare supports people in their own homes across Kingswinford and the wider Dudley area. We help with the parts of daily life that have become difficult, so that staying at home remains a real option rather than something people only manage with a struggle. We visit older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people who live with sight or hearing loss. Visits range from a short daily call through to several longer ones, and we agree the pattern with the person before anything begins. The work itself covers personal care, support with medication, meals, help with getting about safely, keeping on top of the house, and support to get out to appointments or into town. Where somebody lives alone, the conversation during a visit often matters as much as the tasks, and we build enough time in for it. We aim to send the same small group of carers to the same households. It makes support far easier to accept, and it means someone spots quickly when a person is not themselves. When that happens we speak to the family and to health professionals early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to talk things through.
