“Care has always been central to my nursing career and I have especially enjoyed working with the elderly. This is an area that is often undervalued and overlooked, something we aim to change through Home Counties Carers. It is important to us that our service is not just one of duties performed and care given, but one of friendship and support, and our goal is to enable our clients and enrich their lives. Our staff understand that their role is not just about fulfilling the job but also reaching out and being there for those that may not have the family or social network and support they once had.”

  • A client recently asked me what is it that I love so much about working at Home Counties Carers and my answer was this:

“We give people the choice to live safely, happily and most importantly, confidently in their own homes for as long as they like. When they say they are ready to move into a care home, with family or supported living, it is entirely their choice and not the only option.

Every day we go into people’s homes and assist them to live independently, supporting them to make their own decisions and live life as they wish. It is the nicest way to spend our day.”
