About Linmar Care
Linmar Care is a home care agency in Colchester, supporting people in their own homes across the town and the surrounding area. We visit older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Calls range from half an hour in the morning through to several visits a day, covering personal care, medication, meals, safe movement around the house, shopping and appointments. Our starting point is how somebody already manages. Most people have a settled way of doing things and a clear sense of what they want help with and what they would rather keep hold of. Care that overrides all that in the name of getting through the round is not really care. We agree the detail with the person, write it in plain language and revisit it as circumstances change. Continuity is the part we work hardest at, because a familiar face notices what a stranger would miss. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging care at home locally, we are happy to come out and talk it through.
