What we do


We really do care. This means that whatever happens, we put you first.  We believe that as you age, the care you receive should enhance and improve the quality of your life.  We want you to be happy.  You deserve dignified and reliable care.  Living out the latter years in a fun and interactive way in the comfort of your own home with familiar surroundings with carers we both can trust.


 



We actively seek your views to enhance your care.  It's all about you!



Care Ambassadors

Our Staff.   We are only as good as our team.  We select carefully for our Care Carriacou Family.  Our Client Care Ambassadors are experienced and trained to ensure quality of care. They are incouraged to care for you with disnity and compassion.  They are encouraged to interact with you, learn about your likes and dislikes and ensure that the time spent with you 


We encourage an atmosphere of mutual respect between carer and clients.  The relationship is very important.  It is a beautiful thing when a bond is formed.  It makes caring enjoyable for everyone.


Our Client Care Ambassadors know that whilst they are at work, they will only use their mobile phones  during their designated break times.  Staff who live in, have 2 hours break per day.  This can be taken off site.  If you feel that you need someone to cover tat period, just advise us . Our live in staff are encouraged to share mealtimes together. 


Sometimes, relationships take a little time to develop.  Especilly new ones.


We encourage a culture of discussion and mediation so that issues can be resolved without unnecessary esculation.  Someties that's all it takes.  This  is the Care Carriacou way.


Nutrition and Hydration Our Client Care Ambassadors know how important nutrition is so we will make recommendations to ensure that a balanced diet is served daily that is geared to your taste.


Water plays an important part it in your health and wellbeing,  Our Client Care Ambassadors will ensure that you are offered water regularly throughout your day.  


As you age, eating little and often is important.   We make recommendations that ensure you eat a balanced healthy diet. Ask to see our menu options but it is entirely your choice.

 Exercise !  

Daily excercise and meaningful interatcion. We are all about keeping you moving daily.  As long as you are able to, our Client Care Ambassadors  will encourage you to walk, move and stretch to keep you  supple just a little bit each day.  You may want to share a book or just share a conversation or memories.  Activities are client led where possible.


We will always be guided by your Doctor and  healthcare professionals with regards ro physical activity.

Medication

Medication Management. We can also manage the admin around your medication.  Whilst we are not responsible for sourcing or supplying your medication, we can liaise with your Doctor or the Pharmacist to ensure it is collected for you in a timely manner.

Medical Help Your health is  important to us and we feel that regular monitoring is important.  That is why, as part of our service to you, we offer a monthly visit at your home by your doctor or nurse to closely monitor how you are doing.  We know things can change quickly so we monitor you closely. 


We also offer post hospital care so you won't have to worry about who will look after you when you are released.  We can have our Client Care Ambassador there waiting for you when you get home.

Pampering/personal grooming. We are here to care for you.  That means if you decide you want your nails painted, thats excatly what we will do for you!


Sometimes, care isn't only about the bascs, it is also about thinking outside the box and doing whatever you feel like doing whether tht is a spot of gardening, flower arranging, playing dominos, cards or just sharing TV time.  


Our Care App.  Here at Care Carricou, we believe that technology has a role to play in care.  We have integrated an App into our service for ease of monitoring carers and the care .  We are not the type of organisation who don't like you asking questions or haviging a say in you/your care. Both you and your loved ones are entitled to ask as many questions as will ease your mind.  We understand that the you need to adjust to having care so you may need to be in touch with us often.
That is entirely fine. 


Our Client Care Ambassadors will never make you feel that you can't ask questions regarding care.


We will have your appointed family or friend on file who has been nominated to discuss care.  All conversations are logged and monitored to ensure quality of service and to mutural client/carer respect.

'Are you ready to join our Care Carriacou family?'



Transparency...

Often the elderly in care feel that they can't speak about issues that concern them for fear reprisal.  Care Carriacou is here for you whether you are praising or have an issue you want to discuss.


When you age, we feel it is important to express yourself and feel free to remain vocal and have an active say in your care.


Issues can easily be ironed out with simple discussions.  We encourage dialogue with clients in an open, constructive  and respectful way.





'Carriacou needs a service like this!'

We heard you say that you wanted a high quality care service that you could trust.  One that puts you first and that is professional  and people client-centric.  Care Carriacou listened to your concerns and decided to do something about it!
