About Border Cottage Care
Border Cottage Care is a home care agency based in Castleford, supporting people across the Wakefield area in their own homes. We believe most people would rather stay where their memories are, and our job is to make that possible for as long as it safely can be. We visit older people who need a hand with washing, dressing, medication or meals, and we also support adults living with dementia, mental health needs, a physical disability, sight or hearing loss, and adults who are autistic or have a learning disability. Some of the people we work with are much younger, and some are living with an eating disorder or coming through problems with alcohol or drugs. Every one of those situations asks something different from us, so we match workers thoughtfully rather than sending whoever happens to be free. Reliability is what people actually judge us on. We plan visits so that our staff are not rushing between calls, we keep the same faces going to the same households wherever we can, and we tell you if a time has to change. Families who live at a distance are kept informed, with permission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we treat that as a floor rather than a finish. If you are weighing up support for yourself or someone close to you in Castleford, we are happy to talk it through with no pressure.
