10 Live-in care from Independent People All of our Carers are directly employed and trained by us, which means they have to undergo rigorous police checks. They also receive ongoing training and supervision to ensure their skills are up-to-date and that high professional standards are maintained. In addition to this, we conduct regular appraisals that are assessed based on our Carers’ performance and achievements. As such, we always seek feedback from those being cared for and their families. Our Carers are exceptionally respectful, and are trained to address those that they support by their preferred names. Carers are trained to recognise the absolute centrality of privacy, dignity, respect and communication in the provision of care. Your Carer is happy to prepare cooked meals for you. Often our customers would like their food to be prepared using fresh ingredients, and our Carers understand that this is also a good opportunity to involve those they support in activities that support their independence. Therefore, individuals are making choices about the things they eat, whilst also receiving good nutritional value from their meals. At Independent People Homecare we are very keen for you to have the same care worker looking after you or your loved one for as much time as possible, so you are able to get to know all about them. Our Carers often work with families for long periods of time, and providing support for around three or four weeks at a time is not uncommon. We work hard to ensure that your Carer is a good match, and someone who fits well in your home. Unlike other care companies, we directly employ all of our Carers, which means that we pay all national insurance and inland revenue duties. This means that you do not have to worry about employment law, maternity pay, training, references, police checks or safeguarding clearances. All you have to concentrate on is continuing to build relationships with your loved ones, safe in the knowledge that everything in your home is being carried out in the right way. While there are no extra charges made to you for the service we provide, please note that our Carers do not contribute towards any expenses, such as electricity and other utility bills, food or petrol.
