About UniqCare
UniqCare Islington is a home care agency supporting people in their own homes across Islington, in this part of London. We work with older people who want to carry on living independently at home, and with younger adults, including adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults and people with physical disabilities. What we do is set by the person rather than by a standard package. It may be a short morning call to help someone wash, dress and start the day safely. It may be support with medication, meals, shopping and household tasks. It may be support to get out to work, to college, to a club or to see family, or help to manage appointments and correspondence. Where someone wants to take on more for themselves, we step back at their pace and stay available. How we communicate is as important as what we do. We take time to learn how each person likes information given to them, how they tell us when something is wrong and what helps them feel settled when a day is difficult. For clients with physical disabilities we pay close attention to mobility and to what makes independence possible. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We are regulated by them and are building the planning, training and oversight that a good rating properly requires.
