About The Firs Home Care
We are The Firs Home Care, a home care agency working in Chippenham and the surrounding parts of Wiltshire. We support people in their own homes so that daily life can carry on in familiar surroundings, with the help brought in rather than the person moved out. The people we visit are varied. Many are older and want dependable support with washing and dressing, medication, meals and running the house. We also support people living with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability, people whose sight or hearing has changed, and younger adults who need care at home. Everything begins with a conversation rather than a form. We want to know how a person likes their day arranged, what they can and want to do for themselves, and where the genuine difficulties lie. From that we agree a plan, write it down, and change it when it stops fitting. We aim to keep the same carers going to the same households, because being known by the person who comes to your door is what makes care feel like support. Our carers are trained, supervised and encouraged to speak up when something is not right, which is usually how problems get solved while they are still small. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at care at home around Chippenham, please contact us.
