About 1st 4 Healthcare
1st 4 Healthcare provides support at home for people across Preston and the surrounding parts of Lancashire. Needing help should not mean giving up the house and the routines somebody has spent years building, and our work is to make sure it does not. Our carers visit older people who need assistance with personal care, medication, meals, mobility or the domestic jobs that quietly turn into obstacles. We support people living with dementia in the surroundings that already make sense to them, and we work with people living with a physical disability, people who have sight or hearing loss, and younger adults who want support arranged around their own plans rather than support that takes over. Every plan starts with a conversation about how the person likes their day to run and what they would rather do themselves. We review arrangements as needs change and keep families informed where that is wanted. Reliability matters a great deal to us, so we plan our rounds carefully and let people know if anything has to change. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather state that clearly. If you are looking into care at home in the Preston area, please get in touch and we will arrange to come out and listen.
