Audley Care FAQs
-
If I require Audley Care, how do I go about arranging it?

Contact Audley Care to book a home visit from your local Branch Manager who will explain the ways we can help over a friendly chat. Once you have decided how you would like us to care for you at home, simply sit back and leave the rest to us.

-
Will I have the same person to help me every day?
-
Continuity of Care is extremely important to us, so we do our best to ensure you are assisted each time by the same small group of carers.
We will also provide the opportunity for you to get to know the wider homecare team at your local branch, so you will recognise a familiar face if your main carer is absent or on holiday.
-
How can I be confident that my carer will complete all their tasks?
-
A senior care team member will visit you and discuss the services/tasks you require, you will then work together to design a Care Plan tailored to your needs with a copy being left in your home. Care workers will read your Care Plan at each visit to ensure they are delivering the services you require, following completion of the care visit electronic care notes are recorded to which upon request you and or a family member who has power of attorney can access these remotely.
In your folder you will have a personalised tag which the care worker will scan with a mobile device, this enables our office teams to monitor and report on things such as the time spent with customers and billing.

Is my personal security assured?
