Who we are
At Home Instead Salisbury and Romsey, weve got time for people. That means that weve got time for our Care Assistants to pop into the office whenever they want for a cup of coffee and a chat, time to listen to their concerns, time to give them the support they need. It means our Care Assistants have got time to focus on their clients rather than rushing through a list of tasks as quickly as possible, which is why all of our visits are at least an hour long. Were passionate about giving our Care Assistants the best support possible and providing excellent care for our clients, and we know that to do those things well, we need to have time for peoplebecause people are at the heart of what we do.
