About Andrea Healthcare
We provide support in people's own homes in Colchester and the surrounding parts of Essex. We work with older people who need help with daily living, with younger adults, with people who have a learning disability, with autistic people, with people living with mental health conditions and with people who have a physical disability. Day to day that means personal care, medication support, meal preparation, help getting out and about and, for some people, support to run a household, keep appointments and stay connected to the people and activities that matter to them. The balance is different for everyone, which is why we plan with the person rather than handing them a standard package. We will be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are working through the points raised, with changes to supervision, record keeping and the way we check that visits are delivered as planned. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you come across it elsewhere, and we are happy to talk in detail about what has changed since. The people we support and their families are part of that work, because they are the ones who know whether things are genuinely better. If you are considering care at home in the Colchester area, please get in touch and ask us anything.
