MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR
May I welcome you to Cherish Home Care and our web-site. Since our establishment in 2002, as a Home Care Agency we have been providing care and support to a wide range individuals, with a wide range of needs, within their own home and in the broader community on a one to one basis, whether for a few hours a week or on a 24 hour basis.
At Cherish Home Care we take the view that all the individuals we support, deserve a high quality and personalised service, which is regular and on time, every time. We support Care in the Community and the delivery of personalised services because we believe in self directed support and that everyone should have choices and control over their own lives and to be able to make decisions about their chosen lifestyle, particularly if it means remaining in their own home. Of course we value the care each individual receives from their relatives or others close to them and therefore at Cherish Home Care in recognising this, we aim to work alongside them and to include them in the service we provide.
Our key objective is to ensure that the independence, privacy and dignity of all individuals we support, is maximised to the full through the comprehensive and established range of high quality personalised care and welfare services we provide, each delivered to meet specific individual needs and choices.
It is our intension to work alongside all our service users by enabling them to achieve maximum independence with the assistance our dedicated care staff.
Sincerely,
Asha Sharma
Managing Director
