About Care For Freedom
Care For Freedom is a home care agency in St. Albans, supporting people in their own homes across Hertfordshire. The name sets out what we are for. Care should widen what a person is able to do and where they are able to live, not narrow it. We work with older people and younger adults. That includes people living with dementia, people who have a learning disability, autistic people, people with mental health needs, people with physical disabilities, people with sight or hearing loss, people living with an eating disorder and people recovering from problems with alcohol or drugs. With that span of need, no standard package would serve, so we plan each person's support individually. A visit may mean personal care, support with medication, meals and mobility, or help with household tasks and correspondence. It may equally mean support to get to work, to an appointment or to something a person simply enjoys. We agree the plan with the person and anyone they want involved, write it down in terms they recognise and review it when circumstances change. Our carers are trained for the clients they visit and are expected to raise concerns promptly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We are glad of it, and the better measure is whether the people we support around St. Albans have more freedom in their own lives because we are there.
