About Alpha Care Services
We provide care at home in Cheltenham and the surrounding area, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with mental health conditions. Our part is practical. We arrange visits at the times that suit, help with washing and dressing, support with medication, a hand with meals, shopping and housework, and assistance to move about the house safely. Where needs are greater we arrange more frequent calls, and where they change we review the plan rather than leaving it as it was first agreed. What people really judge an agency on is whether carers arrive when they said they would and whether it is the same faces each week. We work at both. A carer who knows somebody notices when they are unwell, in pain or unusually withdrawn, and the person is spared explaining themselves over and over. For people living with dementia a familiar and unhurried visit does more good than anything written down, and where somebody's mental health is unsettled, that familiarity matters even more. Our carers are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and can reach senior colleagues for advice. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into care at home for yourself or a relative, please get in touch for an honest conversation.
