How Our Greenwich Homecare Team Ensures Safety and Comfort
Delivering Dignified Care You Can Trust, Right at Home
When it comes to homecare, two priorities stand above all else: safety and comfort. At Caremark Greenwich, we understand that inviting someone into your home—or the home of a loved one—is a big decision. That’s why our entire team is trained, equipped, and committed to delivering care that not only meets medical and practical needs, but also creates a sense of reassurance, dignity, and emotional wellbeing.
Here’s how our Greenwich-based team goes above and beyond to keep clients safe, comfortable, and supported in their own home.
1. Thorough Staff Training and Vetting
Every care assistant we hire is fully vetted, DBS-checked, and trained to the highest industry standards. Our team undergoes continuous professional development to stay up-to-date with:
- First Aid and Emergency Procedures
- Manual Handling and Mobility Assistance
- Infection Prevention and Control
- Medication Management
- Dementia Awareness and End-of-Life Care
Why it matters: This ensures our carers are fully prepared to manage both day-to-day support and unexpected situations safely and competently.
2. Tailored Risk Assessments for Every Home
Before we begin care, we carry out a full risk assessment of the client’s home environment. This includes checking:
- Trip hazards (e.g., rugs, stairs, loose wires)
- Fire and carbon monoxide safety
- Accessibility of essential rooms and equipment
- Bathroom safety and hygiene
- Medication storage and administration
Why it matters: Safety isn’t one-size-fits-all. A customised plan helps us prevent accidents and create a safer living space.
3. Clear and Transparent Care Plans
Comfort comes from knowing what to expect. We work closely with clients and their families to build a clear, personalised care plan that reflects medical needs, lifestyle preferences, cultural values, and emotional wellbeing.
This plan is reviewed regularly and includes:
- Meal preferences and dietary needs
- Daily routines and mobility support
- Communication styles and personal boundaries
- Emotional or mental health concerns
Why it matters: When clients feel seen, heard, and respected, they thrive.
4. Consistent Care Assistants and Strong Relationships
Familiarity breeds comfort. We do our best to assign regular care assistants to each client to ensure continuity of care and build trusted relationships over time.
Why it matters: When the same few faces appear each day, clients feel more secure, less anxious, and more likely to engage with their care.
5. 24/7 Support and Emergency Readiness
We don’t clock out at 5pm. Our on-call team are available 24/7 to handle emergencies or changes in care needs.
Why it matters: Families can relax knowing someone is always on hand to help—whether it’s a medical concern or a last-minute schedule change.
Safety isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. Our care assistants are selected not just for their skills, but for their compassion, patience, and ability to connect on a human level.
Whether it’s sharing a cup of tea, listening to a favourite story, or simply sitting in quiet companionship, we know that emotional support is vital to overall wellbeing.
Why Families in Greenwich Trust Caremark
As a locally based team, we understand the Greenwich community, its people, and its unique needs. Our Care assistants live and work in the area, which helps us provide not just professional care—but also familiarity, cultural understanding, and local knowledge that national agencies can’t match.
We are run by individuals who are born in Greenwich, studied in Greenwich and now creating jobs in Greenwich.
We’re proud to be CQC regulated, fully insured, and deeply committed to excellence in care.
