The Care Crew

The Care Crew are a Scotland wide company offering quality personal care in clients’ own homes. With a friendly and highly experienced team of carers, clients are able to keep their independence and dignity, eat wholesome home-cooked food, and enjoy the company of likeminded carers. The team are experienced in all aspects of household management, with a speciality in assisting their clients in maintaining a healthy social life and lifestyle.

The company was established after its founder failed to find a provider of care offering a standard she would wish to receive herself. The whole ethos of the company is that clients should be looked after and shown the same level of respect as if they were the carer’s own parent or grandparent. They are, essentially, a group of friends who work together as self-employed carers to provide in-home quality personalised care. All packages are tailored to suit the individual needs of each client with care starting from five hours (the minimum) up to full 24/7 care.

The company offers assistance in obtaining direct payments from the Scottish Government and can liase with the Social Work Department to obtain any necessary equipment. Carers in the team have even accompanied clients on foreign visits. Costs are kept down by paying carers directly with no hidden charges. Each carer is personally introduced to the client by Helen following the initial consultation.

All carers hold an enhanced disclosure certificate (PVG) and most hold either SVQ2 or 3. The company is experienced in palliative care, spinal care and dementia and is familiar with the medical protocols associated with in-home care.
