About Symbolic Care Group
Symbolic Care Group provides support in people's own homes in Chelmsford and across Essex. We fit around the household that is already there, at the times of day when help actually makes a difference. We support older people with washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping, housework and getting out and about, and we sit with people who would otherwise spend the day alone. We work with people living with dementia, where the same familiar carers and an unchanging routine do most of the work. We also support people with a learning disability and autistic people, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults building the confidence and skills to run their own lives. Two things govern how we operate. Calls are planned with enough time in them to be done properly, and we keep the same small group of carers going to the same person. Rushed, unfamiliar care is the root of most complaints in this industry, and we would rather avoid the cause than manage the consequences. We have not yet been given an overall rating by the Care Quality Commission, so we would rather you asked us direct questions than looked for a badge. How do we recruit, train and supervise our carers, what happens when a visit runs late, and who can you reach at the weekend? Contact us and we will answer plainly.
