About Safehands Recruitment
We provide care at home in Cheltenham and the surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. Those we support include older adults, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and younger adults. We build each arrangement from scratch, because the people we visit have little in common beyond needing a hand. There is no house style that would suit them all. We put a good deal of thought into matching the carer to the household. An hour with somebody you get along with is company. The same hour with a stranger working through a checklist is something else entirely, and people can tell the difference at once. Reliability is the part of this sector that most often fails, so we build rounds that survive an ordinary bad morning and we ring rather than leave somebody sitting and wondering. We review arrangements properly when circumstances change rather than adding minutes onto a plan that has stopped fitting. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask the people we visit how we are doing and give the awkward answers more weight than the generous ones.
