Opieka Ltd

Sally Kelly is the founder and registered manager of Opieka. She holds a Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social care and has over 20 years of experience in the care sector, and is passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care to people of all ages. Sally has also attained a BA (Honours) Degree in Business Computing and also commenced a Masters in Business Administration.

She founded Opieka in 2016, after wanting to provide a local service offering the type of care that she, unfortunately, couldn’t find for her mum. The type of care that she believes should be made available and provided, but very often isn’t. She envisioned a home care provider that could offer tailored, flexible care to people in her local community. Having previously worked as a business analyst for a blue-chip company, her business and computing background has made her very passionate about using technology to improve the lives of people in health and social care. With this in mind, Opieka has gone on to become one of the most advanced care providers utilising paperless systems, geolocation for staff management and content-derived applications to empower her team. More importantly, Opieka company has also since grown to become one of the leading home care providers in the area offering a wide range of services, including personal care, dementia care, companionship, respite care, learning Disability support and respite care.

Sally is a role model for other entrepreneurs who are looking to start their own businesses. She is a reminder that it is possible to make a difference in the world by following your passion.

Hello, I’m Kayleigh! I joined Opieka back in 2019 I would say that the path to my care career was not planned, however, it’s certainly one that I would never walk back on. I’ve met some amazing and unforgettable individuals over the years. My ethos is and always will be to ensure top-quality care is being provided, nothing less.

I have a background in office management and I am very hands-on, my qualifications are largely design-based which means I have a creative approach and an eye for detail.

I am an outdoorsy person and I have recently completed a 26-mile trek in the lake district raising money for the Alzheimer’s society - I’m always on the lookout for a new challenge!
