About North Homecare

We are North Shropshire Homecare, based in Whitchurch, and we provide care in people's own homes across the north of the county. We support older people, including many living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. North Shropshire is thinly spread, and getting to people reliably is part of the job rather than an excuse. We plan our rounds with that in mind and tell families promptly when anything has to change, because a missed visit that nobody mentions is far worse than a late one somebody explains. For people living in villages, our carer is sometimes the main person they will speak to that day, and we take that seriously. Support is agreed with the person before it starts. We ask how the day runs now, what has become difficult, what they still want to manage themselves, and where a hand would genuinely help. That might mean help with washing and dressing, a prompt and a check with medication, a meal cooked and shared, help getting safely about the house, or assistance with shopping and appointments. For people living with dementia, keeping things familiar does more good than anything else, so we work hard to send the same carers to the same households. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us and we will talk it through honestly.
