We recognise that your carer is somebody with whom you can
form a special friendship, and for this reason we take great
care in selecting a staff member with whom you feel completely
comfortable. This is only done with your full consent, and
you are free to ask for a change in carer at any time if you
so desire it.
When our staff attend your home they will always be wearing
our uniform together with an appropriate Identification Badge
with photograph so that he / she is easily identifiable to
you. They will knock and not try to gain entry without your
permission. Wherever we are entrusted with the keys to your
home, staff will always knock when using the key so that you
know who is calling.
Carers attending you at your home will not
at any time be accompanied by partners, children, friends
or pets.
If at any time your carer is late or held
up with an emergency we will always telephone you and advise
you or inform you of the name of the replacement carer.
When your carer visits you in your home they need to record
the amount of time spent with you and the tasks they have
undertaken for you in accordance with your agreed plan of
care. Therefore, at the end of each visit the carer will complete
daily diary sheet that will be left in your home and sign
it to confirm that the work has been undertaken at the times
stated. We need accurate records of visits in order for us
to maintain a correct and efficient invoicing system for the
work done. Your co-operation in this respect will be appreciated.
