Home Care service expands in Lancashire!

PRESTON, U.K. - May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- More than 700,000 people above the age of 65 rely on home help and campaigners warned the system was becoming stretched in an age of austerity. In a review of 250 services, the Care Quality Commission found evidence that providers had missed calls, many staff did not understand whistleblowing procedures about abuse and nurses turned up late to provide care. A quarter of homecare services – where the elderly get help getting into and out of bed, washing, dressing and eating – failed to meet quality and safety standards, the health regulator says.

In the light of this National Report, however, one local Preston based Home Care provider, ktg Social Care is expanding as demand for its services and staff increase.
“Our services are in demand” said Godwin Anthony, MD “because we fully understand the needs of the elderly and people in society who require quality and compassionate home care.”

ktg Social Care is part of the Ktg Recruitment business which has been running for many years in Preston & Lancashire. As demand for quality Home Care staff rose the company decided to expand it's ‘specialist’ division.

“We screen and hire the very best qualified and motivated staff “continued Godwin “we invest heavily in training and CRB checks to ensure that our clients have the most professional, skilled and compassionate carers to help and support them through the challenges of Home Care”

Ktg Social Care are also members of The Help Direct Safe Trader Scheme through Lancashire County Council and offer a 24/7 guarantee of their care services. The Social Care division is registered with the Care Quality Commission.

“We work very closely with all Local Authorities” added Godwin “making sure services and facilities are co-ordinated. We accept respite vouchers and have established a ‘free induction period’ where client and carer get to know each other before the provision of care services start. This enables the care to be more ‘person centred, efficient and cost effective”
