Visiting Carers

That’s not how we do things at Chesterford Homecare.

Live-in carers

If you are joining us as a live-in carer, you will be provided in advance of details of your placement. On the day you are due to start work, you will be driven to their home to meet them, and you will conduct a thorough handover with the carer you are replacing. After that, it’s down to you, although your Care Manager will phone you at least once during your first few days and will also visit you if time permits. You are also free to contact the office at any time during normal working hours, if you have any questions about anything. We also run an out-of-hours service, but this is to be used solely in case of emergency.

Visiting carers

If you are joining us as a visiting carer, and dependent on your skill set and previous experience you will spend some time accompanying one or more experienced colleagues as they do their rounds (known as “shadowing”). When our Care and Compliance Manager feels you are ready, you will then be allocated your own schedule, at which point we are confident you will be perfectly capable of covering your care calls on your own.
