About us
Cream Home Care is the brain child of Jenny, the managing director behind the hugely successful local health and social care agency, Cream Health Care. Jenny noticed there was a gap in the home care market when a close friend of hers was at crisis point with her mother, and was desperately looking for help and support to enable her mother to live safely in her own home. From hearing the struggles her friend had, Jenny knew she could do better!
Our priority is always to respect our staff and their right to a fulfilling and rewarding life both inside and outside of work, without offsetting this against the needs of our clients. With this ethos in mind, we will build strong relationships with you by understanding your needs and allocating you clients we know you will connect with and help enhance the clients’ quality of life.
We pride ourselves in only recruiting high quality, dedicated, passionate care staff.
