Ivy Grace Home Care Ltd

Hi, I'm Katy Thrower the Director of Ivy Grace Home Care LTD.

I and Naomi decided to set this business up to help provide a reliable home care service to our local community. Along with the Care crisis, we decided now was the time to do it.
I have been in the industry for over 20years and completed my level 5 in Health and Social care.

Our aim is to provide person-centred care to those who are in need of help at home. Having personally experienced working with care companies, I now have the knowledge of what's needed and wanted in this industry.

Continuity of care,
To be listened to,
To ensure you have the right carers for you,
A dedicated management team who looks after their staff so they can provide the best care in your home,
A introduction service so you always know your carers,
Time slots that suit you,

I have personal experience of what good care can do for our service users' quality of life, and what a huge impact it can make on them and their families, and that is why we chose to do this.
There is no better feeling than leaving them with a smile on their face.

With that being said, we look forward to supporting and helping you, whether that be some advice or a care need.

I started working in social care 9 years ago but in those 9 years, I gained my level 5 in health and social care and have learnt an extensive amount about how an agency should be run and how it shouldn’t be.

For generations, social care has been part of my life. My nan had various successful care homes, my mum was a district nurse and was part of a very successful care agency which still runs today.

We decided to start Ivy Grace Home Care, because,

1 - The care crisis and home care agencies just do not have the capacity to take on service users in need.

2 - We can do it the right way.

Running a home care agency isn’t for everyone. It requires the best of the best, those who aren’t afraid of challenges and are determined to tackle caregiver turnover and recruiting.

Most of my care background is in recruiting the right care workers and ensuring they are DBS checked and trained correctly to provide the right care in your home.
Staff turnover in care is extremely high, and that can be for so many different reasons. This makes a huge impact on the service users we care for, as it means having many different carers in their homes.

I will do my best to help change this with the help of my colleagues, by making sure employees are appreciated and get the recognition they deserve for the skills and abilities they bring to the job.
