About Great Care Health Services
We provide care at home in Oldbury and the surrounding part of Sandwell, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, people with mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Needs that varied cannot be met from a standard package, so we ask before we plan. For an older person, help often centres on personal care, medication, meals and keeping the house manageable. For a younger adult it is more likely to be about independence: running a home, getting to work or college, handling money and keeping appointments. Where somebody is living with dementia, a familiar and unhurried carer does more good than anything written down. We put real effort into continuity, sending the same carers to the same households wherever the rota allows. It spares people from explaining themselves repeatedly and means somebody is likely to notice when a person is unwell, in pain or unusually withdrawn. For autistic people, a predictable arrangement matters in the same way. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach when a situation is unclear. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking into care at home for yourself or a relative, please get in touch for an honest conversation.
