About First Choice Home Care

We are First Choice Home Care, based in Halesworth and supporting people in their own homes across this part of Suffolk. We work with older people and people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing a mental health condition, people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who need support to live independently. Working across a rural area means being honest about distance. We plan rounds around real travel times so that visits are not cut short to make up a schedule, and we would rather decline a package than take one on and deliver it badly. For people living some way from the nearest town, our carer may be the main contact of the day, and the time it takes to sit and talk is part of the job rather than an extra. Support ranges from a short daily call to several visits covering personal care, medication, meals and help around the house. Wherever a person can still do something themselves, we support them to keep doing it. We keep the same carers with the same households wherever we can, and our staff are trained and supervised properly. Our most recent CQC overall rating is good. Please get in touch to discuss what would help.
