Directors and Manager

Jack & Sophie Whitfield - Directors

We were drawn into the care industry after witnessing first-hand the wide variety in the quality of care people experience. We each had a grandfather receiving care at around the same time, with one service being exceptional and the other leaving a lot to be desired to put it mildly. It made us realise two things: What a difference high quality care can make to somebody’s life There are not enough high quality providers out there That was then, and now we have 11 years’ experience of providing Outstanding home care, as rated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Our simple test that runs through everything we do is that we need to provide the care that we would want our own family members to receive. As such, we like to think of our team as an extension of our customers’ families. There really is no better feeling than helping somebody else out, and we constantly get a kick out of hearing the difference our teams are making to people’s lives on a daily basis. Outside of work we are kept busy with our three children, which means Jack has increasingly less time to go fishing and play cricket, though our eldest is now just about old enough to get involved with him too!
