You may well find that if you are having an organisation recommended to you by Adult Services in any location across the UK, it is based on the cost that these providers are quoting.
It is mostly impossible for these providers to be able to provide a full service due to the costs involved. This normally affects the individual having care support, as carers don't turn up, they only complete 5 minutes of a 30 minute visit or only one carer will turn up when there is supposed to be 2.
Our guidance is to consider contacting one of the organisations above or look for local recommendations from others who are receiving care in their own homes.
