Everycare is a domiciliary care development for the provision of services
in line with the Governments "Community Care policies". The Everycare service is
designed to provide a comprehensive and flexible range of home care services, supported by
the latest technology in the emergency monitoring of clients and their homes.
Everycare's services enables people with a care need to have the choice of
staying in their home longer and buying in the support services that will help them to
carry on an independent life style.
The Company
Everycare originated in April 1993 in response
to the introduction of the 1993 Community Care Act, as a development of a highly
successful residential care business.
Due to the remarkable success of the pilot operation in Cardiff which achieved a
first year turnover in excess of £0.5 million, the directors launched the first franchise
in 1994. The franchise network now covers approximately 20% of the UK population.
Everycare (Cardiff) Limited, where the pilot scheme was run, continues to be highly
successful with a current annual turnover in excess of £1.6m.
The Everycare service
Everycare provides care staff to both private and social services
clients in their own homes and qualified nursing staff to both public and private sector
organisations providing health care services. Everycare has developed a tried and tested
business system for the administration and successful development of all these services.
The total markets for these services are estimated to be in excess of £10 bn
annually in the UK.
The Everycare service breaks down into two distinct parts .
The Provision of Domiciliary Care Services
You will recruit a team of care assistants that are able to
provide the support services that we offer that will enable your customers to have a better
quality of life and be cared for in their own home.
