About Torkan Care
Torkan Care provides support in people's own homes in Borehamwood and across the surrounding parts of Hertfordshire. We work with older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic people, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss. We think home care is mostly a practical craft rather than a philosophy. It is knowing that the back door sticks, that the tablets are in the second drawer, that she likes the radio on and he cannot bear it. It is arriving on time, doing the job without hurrying anyone, writing down what actually happened and passing on anything that matters. Get those right consistently and the rest tends to follow. So we spend our effort on the unglamorous parts. Realistic rotas rather than optimistic ones. Small teams so that people are supported by faces they recognise. Proper introductions before anyone new turns up alone. Honest conversations with families when something has slipped. We will also tell you when we are not the answer. If someone needs more than we can safely provide, saying so early is more useful than taking the work. The Care Quality Commission has not yet issued us an overall rating. Until it does, we are content to be judged on the detail we go into and on what the people we already support say about us. If you are looking at care at home locally, please get in touch.
