The number of older people with some unmet need for care now stands at 1.5 million
Did you know?
Age Is Just a Number...
Elderly care encompasses a range of services designed to support the older population in their daily lives and health needs. The UK's National Health Service (NHS) and local councils provide various care options, from residential care homes to day centres. However, as the ageing population grows, there's an increasing demand for homecare services. Homecare services offer personalised care tailored to an individual's needs, allowing them to remain in the comfort of their own homes. These services can range from assistance with daily tasks such as bathing and cooking to more specialised medical care. By offering support in a familiar environment, homecare not only promotes independence and dignity for the elderly but also provides a cost-effective alternative to residential care.
Its about continuity, friendship, and puncutality...
Which is why we arrive on time, every time, with a familiar face!
We Understand...
Nobody wants to accept care services, and we understand that the conversations with loved ones regarding support can be quite a difficult and emotional challenge. But that's why we have developed our care model to put a solid focus on consistency, punctuality and professionlism.
Our core values...
The foundation of our success
Kindness
We believe that being truly kind isn't a skill, and it certainly isn't something you can learn. Being kind by nature is who you are!
Thats why we only employ, train and nurture those who are truly kind and caring towards other people. Not only does this belief form our recruitment process and decisions, it has become one of the foundations of our business.
Punctuality
We firmly believe that routines are what keep us as people, independent. Why should that change just because you require support at home?
Punctuality is another foundation of our business, and it means that when you become a client of Horizons, you will always know when your care team will be arriving. No more care workers being late, and no more missed visits.
Continuity
Something we have always been very eager to improve is the quite possibly the biggest 'flaw' in social care services today. Continuity...
After all, we wouldn't want our loved ones seeing a different person at every care visit, so why should you have to put up with it?
This is why you will have your very own team of care workers that really understand you and your routines. Your history, your family and your hobbies.
Family
The word family, encapsulates everything that we stand for, but unlike others who say they are a family run company. We truly are!
From our HCAs to our clients, we are all one family striving for better outcomes and happier lives. This is why family is not only a core value, but the bricks and mortar we build the foundations on.
