About ICare (GB) Limited
We at ICare (GB) Knowsley are a home care agency proudly supporting people across Prescot and the wider Knowsley borough, delivering personalised care in the place that matters most: your own home. Based in the heart of Prescot, our team works throughout the local community, bringing professional support directly to the doorsteps of those who need it. Choosing home care means there is no need to leave behind familiar surroundings, treasured belongings, or established routines. Whether you live in a long-standing family home, a bungalow, or sheltered accommodation, we adapt our approach to fit comfortably within your environment, working alongside you and your loved ones to maintain the rhythm of daily life you know best. Our breadth of specialism allows us to support a remarkably wide range of needs. We provide thoughtful older person care and dementia care, with our team trained to offer gentle, patient support for those living with memory loss or cognitive change. We also work with adults experiencing mental health challenges, individuals with physical disabilities, and people living with visual or hearing impairment, ensuring that communication and accessibility are always at the forefront of our approach. For younger adults and those with learning disabilities or autism, we focus on promoting independence, choice, and meaningful daily living, recognising that good care is about enabling people to live the life they want, not simply managing tasks. We additionally offer support for individuals navigating eating disorders and those affected by alcohol or drug misuse, providing a non judgemental, compassionate presence at what can be a vulnerable time. In practice, this means families can expect a care partner who listens first. We take time to understand the whole person, their history, their preferences, their family dynamics, and their hopes, before agreeing a plan of care that genuinely reflects them. For relatives, particularly those caring from a distance, knowing that a trusted team is visiting regularly brings invaluable peace of mind. We want to be open about our most recent CQC inspection, carried out in May 2023, which awarded us an overall rating of Requires Improvement. Within that inspection, we were rated Good for being Effective, Caring, and Responsive, a reflection of the genuine warmth and skill our care workers bring to every visit. The areas identified for improvement sat within Safe and Well led, and we have taken those findings seriously, using them as a clear roadmap to strengthen our governance, oversight, and safety practices. We believe transparency matters when families are making such an important decision, and we welcome conversations about the steps we are continuing to take. If you are exploring home care options for yourself or someone you love in Prescot or the surrounding Knowsley area, we would be glad to hear from you. A simple conversation costs nothing and can help bring clarity at what is often an uncertain time. Please get in touch to arrange an informal chat, and let us show you how compassionate, tailored care at home could make a real difference.
