About Essential Care Solutions
We are Essential Care Solutions, a home care agency supporting adults in Gloucester and across Gloucestershire. We visit people in their own homes, helping with what has become difficult and leaving alone what people manage perfectly well. We support older people and people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need help with daily life. The work is practical: washing and dressing, support with medication, meals, shopping and housework, and a hand getting out of the house. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather set that out plainly than have you come across it later. We have looked closely at what the inspection found, changed how we plan visits, record care and supervise our staff, and we are open with the people we support about how that is going. If you are weighing us up, please ask about it directly. What we ask to be judged on is reliability, because that is what home care lives or dies by. Arriving when we said we would. Staying the full agreed time. Sending workers who are familiar rather than a different face each visit. Noticing when somebody is not themselves and telling someone who can act on it. Please ring us if you would like to talk about care at home.
