WELCOME TO ST AGATHA CARE

We specialise in connecting individuals who need care at home with experienced, self-employed care professionals, supporting both clients and carers every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful relationship.

Our rigorous vetting process guarantees that every carer in our network is thoroughly verified. This includes confirming their identity and right to work, conducting enhanced DBS checks, and carefully reviewing their qualifications, skills, and previous care experience.

Our commitment doesn't end once we introduce the right carer. We provide ongoing administrative support to make managing your care arrangement effortless and straightforward. Plus, we offer practical tools and templates designed to help carers deliver the highest standards of care, fostering long-term, trusted relationships built on confidence and ease.

THE PROCESS OF ARRANGING CARE

Getting started is easy — simply contact us by phone or email. Our first step is an initial consultation, usually over the phone, where we take time to understand your unique circumstances and support needs.

After this, we'll send you a registration form and arrange a home visit to conduct a more detailed assessment. During the visit, we can complete the registration form together if you wish, ensuring all relevant information is accurately captured. This helps us gain a deeper understanding of your needs.

Using the information gathered, we assess the level of care you require and carefully introduce you to a suitable carer or team of carers matched to your personality and preferences.

We understand the trust families place in us, and we're committed to delivering the highest standard of professional care. Once you select a carer, you retain full control over the service. Meanwhile, we provide ongoing support — handling administrative tasks and promptly addressing any questions or concerns to ensure your care runs smoothly.
