Visiting Angels Warwickshire prides itself on our holistic approach to person-centred care. We understand looking for care is rarely a joyous occasion but our unique approach of listening, understanding, and responding to our client’s needs and preference will help relieve pressure and provide support which is centred around individual lifestyles. We believe quality care is deliberate and cannot be rushed.

We understand that there is no place like home, therefore our caregivers are carefully selected, highly trained, compassionate and efficient. Our caregivers will go above and beyond to support you to continue living independently by providing continuous, consistent and premium care in the comfort of your own home.

Our care packages are individually tailor-made, affordable, flexible and range from a few hours, respite to long-term care. Our clients are given the choice to select their own caregivers, a crucial part of our business which helps them nurture and build trusting relationships.

We are carer-centric, which means we put our caregivers at the very core of our business by supporting, celebrating and training them to be the best versions of themselves; in turn they provide the best care available to our clients.

Adults over the age of 18 who need care and support to enable them to stay in their own homes.

Some funding for care may be available from the Local Authority and it is an important difference for home care that the equity in your property will not be considered as an asset. Unlike healthcare from the National Health Service, adult social care is not necessarily free. Most families contribute to some or all of their care and support costs. To understand whether funding may be available the Local Authority will complete a financial assessment taking into account earnings, pension, savings and investments.

There are however some elements of support which will covered by the state including intermediate care or reablement for up to six weeks, community equipment such as bath seats and minor adaptations to the home.

Because of limited funding and to give themselves the choice of who provides their care many people have decided that they would prefer to take a direct payment from the Local Authority. By making this choice if it is available, you will be able to receive a payment instead of taking care from the council.

You can then use this funding to choose the care provider that you want to work with not just the one that the council selects.

All of this means that if you qualify for social care funding it is possible to top up your care package with a small additional payment to enable you to fund your care with Visiting Angels. If, however your financial assessment means that you do not qualify for funding at all, we are also able to introduce you to expert financial advisors locally who can help you to pay for your care needs.
