About Whitnel Care UK
Whitnel Care UK is a home care agency in Colchester, supporting adults in their own homes across the area. The people we work with are a wide mix: older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability, people managing a mental health condition, people living with an eating disorder and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. Because that range is broad, we match care workers to people deliberately rather than filling slots on a rota, and we train for the situations they will actually meet. Half an hour of personal care in the morning and a visit that is mostly about structure and a reliable presence through a difficult week are not the same job. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We say that plainly and would encourage anyone considering us to meet the manager and ask for references. Support is agreed with the person, written in plain language and revisited when circumstances change. Where other professionals are already involved, we work alongside them rather than around them. If you are arranging support at home locally, please get in touch and we will be honest about what we can do.
