About Flo’s Friends Care
Flo's Friends Care provides home care in Boston and across Lincolnshire. We support older people, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Working across a rural county shapes how we do this. Distances are real and villages are scattered, so a carer running late is half an hour late rather than five minutes. We plan rounds geographically and keep them stable, which has the useful side effect that people see the same few faces instead of whoever the rota produced. Familiarity is the most valuable thing we have to offer and it is very easily squandered. The work covers personal care, medication, meals, mobility, household jobs, shopping and getting to appointments, through to sitting with somebody so that a family carer can leave the house without worrying about it. Where sight or hearing loss is part of the picture, habits matter more than equipment. Saying who we are as we come in. Leaving furniture exactly where it lives. Checking that glasses and hearing aids are clean and working rather than assuming. Because we are often the only people through the door in a week, noticing is genuinely part of the job, and we pass concerns on promptly with the agreement of the person we visit. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection, and we keep asking what needs improving.
