About Council Home Care Service
At West Berkshire Council Home Care, we provide care and support to people in their own homes across Newbury and the surrounding areas of West Berkshire. We believe that being able to stay in familiar surroundings makes a real difference to people's wellbeing, and our work centres on making that possible in a way that feels right for each individual. We support a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and those living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We take the time to understand what matters to each person, building support around their routines, preferences, and goals rather than fitting them into a one size fits all approach. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which reflects the effort our team puts in every day to deliver care that is safe, respectful, and genuinely helpful. We are proud of that rating, though we are always looking at how we can do better and listening to the people we support to make sure we are getting things right. We work closely with families, health professionals, and local services to make sure that the care someone receives at home fits well with everything else going on in their life. Communication matters to us, and we try to be open and straightforward with everyone involved. If you are thinking about home care for yourself or someone close to you, we are happy to talk things through without any pressure. We understand that it can feel like a big step, and we want to make sure you have the information you need to feel confident about any decisions you make. Please do get in touch and we will do our best to help.
