About Acorn Care Solutions
Acorn Care Solutions is a home care agency supporting people in their own homes in Gosport and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. We work with older people and with younger adults, including adults who have a learning disability or who are autistic and people living with a mental health condition. Our aim is to give people the practical help that makes staying at home workable, without taking over the parts of life they manage perfectly well themselves. Visits can cover getting up and settling at night, washing and dressing, medicines, meals and drinks, keeping on top of the house, or support to get out to appointments and to see people. What each visit covers is agreed with the person and with family or an advocate where they want that. We should be honest about our current standing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We accepted what that inspection found and have been working through it, and we would rather say so here than have you come across it afterwards. If you are considering us, please ask what has changed since then and how we are checking that it holds. We would also much rather hear about a problem than have someone put up with it quietly. Tell us, and we will tell you plainly what we are doing about it. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss support at home.

More about the care at Acorn Care Solutions
Home Care at Acorn Care Solutions
Home care in Gosport usually means a carer arriving at agreed times to help with the parts of the day that have become harder, from getting up and washed to preparing meals, prompting medication, light housework and getting out to see people or attend appointments.

Private visiting care across the South East tends to fall between roughly £29 and £35 an hour, while packages arranged through Hampshire County Council are paid at the council's own rate. Worth asking is how care plans are written with the person, how visits are rostered so familiar faces come back, and what happens if a regular carer is off sick.
Older Person Care at Acorn Care Solutions

Worth asking is what experience carers have with mental health, how they respond if someone becomes unwell, and how they link in with community teams or a crisis line.
