About First Care Healthcare
We are First Care Healthcare, and we provide care in people's own homes across Birmingham and Solihull. We support older people and younger adults. Our purpose is straightforward: enough of the right help, at the right times, for somebody to carry on living where they want to be rather than moving somewhere unfamiliar. Home holds a great deal that is easy to undervalue until it is at risk. Your own routine, your own kitchen, the neighbours who notice when the curtains stay shut, the right to decide the shape of your own day. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to manage yourself, and where would a hand genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be a single short call, several a day, or a longer stretch so that a relative caring full time can get out of the house properly. We expect to revise the plan as needs move, because they do. Support might mean help with washing and dressing, a prompt and a check with medication, a meal cooked and eaten with company, help getting safely about, or assistance with shopping and appointments. We keep the same carers going to the same households wherever the rota allows. Care is easier to accept from somebody you recognise, and a familiar carer is the one who notices early that something has changed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us if you would like to talk it through.
