About Age UK Northamptonshire
Age UK Northamptonshire provides care in people's own homes in Northampton and the surrounding area. We support older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, and people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Our support is planned around the person. We ask what has become difficult, what someone would rather carry on doing alone, and who else they want involved, and we write it down in plain language so that everyone who visits works to the same understanding. Visits might cover personal care, medication, meals, laundry and housework, shopping, or help getting out to appointments and to see people. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say so plainly and answer your questions about it than leave you to find it elsewhere, and putting it right is where our attention is going. The things that make home care work are not complicated. Familiar carers, turning up when we said we would, doing what was agreed, and speaking up quickly when we notice that someone's health or circumstances have changed. Those are what we are concentrating on, and we welcome being told when we fall short.
