About Dales Community Care
Dales Community Care is a home care agency based in Skipton, supporting people in their own homes across this part of North Yorkshire. Distance matters in a rural area, and we plan our rounds so that people in the villages are not treated as an afterthought. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia, with people who have mental health needs, with people who have sight or hearing loss and with people recovering from problems with alcohol or drugs. A visit may involve personal care, support with medication, preparing meals, help with household tasks and shopping, company, or support to get out to appointments and to see people. We assess with the person and anyone they want involved, agree plainly what is needed, write it down and review it when circumstances change. Keeping the same carers with the same clients is a priority, and it matters most for people living with dementia, where a recognised face does more good than any explanation. Our carers are trained for the particular needs of the people they visit and are expected to raise concerns promptly rather than wait. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We value it, though the measure we return to is whether our clients around Skipton feel safe, respected and properly looked after in their own homes.
