We are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), providing a high reputation of care, and are also members of the UK Home Care Association (UKHCA).

If for any reason you find yourself dissatisfied with our service then you have the right to:

  • Be assured that your dignity as a human being will be respected.
  • We will work with the Local Authority or CCG to provide an agreed package of support.
  • Request a change of Care Worker if you feel you are not compatible with them, or in your opinion they do not carry out the tasks proficiently. Care Needs will always do their utmost to change a Care Worker when it is requested, but we cannot guarantee to do so, as it all depends on the availability of alternative staff. In an instance where we cannot offer alternative staff, we can either continue to work with you, and your family to resolve the issues that led to the request for an alternative worker, or we would have to refer your package to the local authority or CCG Commissioner to be recommissioned to another Service Provider.
  • Request a review of the service provided and change these services if and when the need arises.
  • Full information on all the services that Care Needs provides and the charges involved in providing such services.
