About Oncite Healthcare
We are Oncite Healthcare, a home care agency supporting adults in Preston and across Lancashire. We visit people in their own homes, providing the help that makes staying there workable. We support older people and people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, and younger adults who need help with daily life. The work is practical: washing and dressing, support with medication, meals prepared properly, shopping, housework, and a hand getting out of the house. For some people that is one call a day and for others it is several. We work on the basis that this is somebody's home and their way of doing things comes first. We ask how they like things done, we agree times that suit them, and we keep to those times, because a late call is no small matter when somebody is waiting to get up or needs their tablets. Wherever the rota allows we send the same small group of workers, since a familiar face is easier to let in and a worker who knows somebody spots early when they are unwell. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Until we have, please test us with direct questions about recruitment, training, supervision and who you can reach out of hours. We would rather be judged on clear answers than on claims.
