Our branch covers the Harlow and Broxbourne areas, spanning both across Essex and Hertfordshire. The branch itself is located in the centre of Harlow, within the Leah Manning Centre. The branch shares the building with a popular Essex County Council Day Centre and the Harlow branch of Age Concern. This location reflects the branch’s ethos of partnership working and embedding itself with the local community.
The service was established in 2013 and covers some of the following areas:
Harlow, Nazeing, Waltham Abbey, Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross and Hoddeson
The branch has very recently been inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and was rated as ‘good’ across all the key lines of enquiry. The branch already had a good rating from its previous inspections and everyone involved in the service was extremely proud that the consistency of the branch’s good care has been recognised.
Below is some of the feedback provided by customers at our last CQC inspection:
‘All I can say to you is that they’re wonderful’.
‘Nothing but praise for them’.
‘They always get me what I want, I’ve no complaints’.
‘The service was recommended to me and I have already recommended them to someone else’.
The branch is supported by a dedicated and well-established team of carers, including some who have been at the branch since the service began. All of our carers are well trained and our induction course for our new staff covers a broad range of subjects, with all our care staff achieving the Care Certificate.
The branch strives to be a supportive environment for its employees and this is reflected in the feedback in the most recent CQC inspection with one carer saying ‘it is rewarding and as an employee I feel that I have been treated well’.
The branch and all the team see every single customer as an individual and always strive to go the extra mile for everyone they support. This is reflected in the positive reviews the branch receive from their customers. The branch has a score of 9.6 out of 10 on homecare.co.uk and the most recent review on the site reads: ‘The service is always first rate and a great help to me. Could not be better and I’m happy with the service’.
