WHAT WE DO
The company provides person-centred care and support to older persons, families and persons with disabilities and this is achieved by planning, designing and delivering services in collaboration and co-operation with the HSE and service users. Hiring trained people who are passionate about their jobs, cultivating a work atmosphere that requires accountability and encourages excellence by defining policies and procedures that align with the requirements of the HSE. Deploying effective training programs, setting goals and performance standards as mechanism for enabling staff to understand and achieve required service levels, using tools and technology for information recording supporting optimal performance and adherence to industry standards. The team approach which is our model of care is inclusive of the service user, their family, home care staff and healthcare professionals. In the not for profit sector we place a high value on our care staff and pay a fair hourly rate, they are in turn motivated to deliver exceptional care. We use a web-based application Innovacare, specifically designed to address diverse and complex needs of a modern home care service and personnel management. The system enables us to systematically and proactively record and manage home care packages, schedule staff, monitor attendance, protect lone workers and run business reports. It is our belief that the key to delivering a quality service, resulting in high levels of service user satisfaction and a safe workplace, resides in ensuring that the personnel carrying out the service are well trained.
