Quality
“When we were faced with trying to keep Mum in her own home it was daunting and a worry, we had previously experienced very poor quality care from another organisation. Our concerns were soon diminished when your Company started to care for Mum (93 years) They treat mum with complete respect and their genuine caring nature shows through at all times.”
The things that make us a Quality Provider
Listed below are some of many ways in which we ensure you receive only the highest quality and most reliable services. Additionally, it is good to know our carers are trained with the skills and knowledge to enable them to carry out their work professionally, and most importantly, you will consistently see the same friendly and reliable staff.
We are good listeners
Here at ‘All About You’ we are good listeners, we hear what you say and we will act upon your wishes, we will not tell you ‘what’s best for you’ because we understand the only person who knows that is you. However, if you do need help in making a decision we are happy to provide you with information to help you to make an informed decision.
We don’t assume things are going fine
As with all things in life very often people accept what is offered, and very often this is not the best. We review your services regularly giving you the chance to have your say and tell us what’s working and what’s not working. This gives us the opportunity to make changes to ensure we meet your expectations and outcomes.
We value your views
From time to time we will send you a questionnaire, this gives you an opportunity to rate your service and your carers, when completing the questionnaire you may remain anonymous. Anything you say or suggest will be taken with the views of other service users to improve the overall quality and range of services we offer.
