About Platinum Care Appointments – Essex
Platinum Care Appointments is a home care agency in Woodford Green, supporting people in their own homes across Redbridge and the surrounding area. We work with older people, with people living with dementia and with people who have a physical disability. The work is practical and it is personal. Helping somebody out of bed and into the day without leaving them feeling handled. A hand with washing and dressing, which protects more than appearances. Medication at the right time, in the right order, recorded honestly. A meal properly cooked. Help to move about safely indoors. And sometimes the most useful part of the visit is sitting down for a few minutes, because loneliness does as much damage as anything medical. Continuity is where we concentrate our effort. Sending the same carers to the same people is the mechanism by which home care does any good: a carer who knows somebody spots the untouched food, the new bruise, the confusion that was not there last week. Somebody arriving for the first time spots nothing. For people living with dementia, familiarity and an unhurried pace do what explanation cannot. For people with a physical disability, we take the time to learn exactly how that individual wants to be assisted with moving, because the right way is specific to the person. The Care Quality Commission has not yet given us an overall rating. Ring us and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot take on.

Dementia Care at Platinum Care Appointments – Essex
The confusion that was not there last week is one of the things this agency says a familiar carer spots and a stranger does not. For dementia it points to familiarity and an unhurried pace rather than explanation, which is a reasonable instinct but not something the register can confirm. Dementia care sits on the Woodford Green registration, and that is all the public record establishes. Ask how carers are briefed before a first visit, how distress or refusal is handled, and what happens if somebody leaves the flat. Ask also how changes are recorded and passed to the family as dementia progresses.
