Carewatch North and East Riding of Yorkshire

ABOUT CAREWATCH?

Carewatch is a network of local offices providing care and support to the local community, meeting the needs of various people, ranging from children to the elderly.

Every week over 160,000 hours of care is provided to people in their own homes, from over 130 offices around the UK.

Our care ranges from practical support and personal care, to the more intensive needs that some require.

By delivering care to people in their own home, Carewatch allows thousands of people to maintain their independence. Some of the typical groups we provide care to are:

• Older People
• Those with Learning Disability
• Those with a Physical Disability
• Those with Mental Health Illness
• Supporting carers, allowing them to take a break

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Practical Support - We provide help, assistance, reassurance, enablement and encouragement with the challenges of everyday life, and assist with activities such as light domestic tasks, shopping or cleaning, that seems too much, we are more than happy being on hand supporting and befriending those who just need company now and then. Carewatch can also be there at times of extra need and support such as hospital release, illness or times of personal or family strain.

Personal Care - Carewatch can also provide personal care and support to those of all ages who require it. A helping hand with the daily demands of personal routine may be all it takes to greatly improve the quality of life. Our staff can assist those who need it, with more personal things like getting in and out of bed, bathing and other intimate tasks.

Specialised Care - There are times when the care and support needed become more complex and challenging, or multiple types of care are required. Regardless of the duration of care - be it hospital release, palliative care, or those with long term multiple and intense needs, Carewatch can work alongside other agencies, with families and individuals to bring the best care and support to the most challenging situations.

WHO GIVES THE CARE?

All care workers receive a Criminal Records Bureau check and have to undergo our induction programme. They will then have the opportunity to work towards a nationally recognised qualification in care, or specialise in different areas.

QUALITY STANDARDS

Each office is registered by the relevant industry regulator and our practices are bound by national regulations along with a variety of legislation. In addition to this Carewatch have its own Policies and Procedures, which all offices are required to adhere to. Regular audits and inspections ensure compliance with agreed standards.
