A QUALITY SERVICE DELIVERED AT THE RIGHT TIME IN THE RIGHT WAY

Caring Alternatives is a privately owned care company providing supported living services, outreach, domiciliary care, Residential Care Home services, Day Care, and Social Activities based in the North West of England. It was born out of a desire and commitment to provide high quality and meaningful care and support; initially by Margaret Swanson who trained as a nurse in the NHS, achieving the role of Executive Trust Director, before spending time at the Department of Health, as a Clinical Director in one of the High Security Hospitals, a Director for a very large Health Care provider and as a Consultant facilitating the turn around of failing services. She was joined by Lorrane Taylor who had a Finance and Administration background in the Hospitality Industry, both share a passion for excellence in health and social care services, with values fundamental to Caring. They are supported by an experienced Registered Manager, Joanne Pierce, Team Leaders, Support Workers, the Care Home Registered Manager, Lorna Shaw, at Hillcrest, Care Staff and Administrative staff, who are all skilled and compassionate. 

 

  Our personalised care and support packages give you the choice to remain as independent as possible and in control of your care & support, in the comfort of your own home without compromising on the quality of your care.

The services we provide are tailor-made and we aspire to meet all the needs and wishes of each person who has chosen our service. We provide care and support from a one-hour call to 24-hour care, 7 days a week. In some situations, we can source accommodation that meets your needs, and you are able to become a tenant in a comfortable warm home, or to provide support to you in your existing home.
