Fully managed live-in care
What makes live-in care with Retons Care different is that we take care of everything for you.
From the moment you get in touch, you are supported by a professional team who knows how to make things simple. We create a personalised care plan and risk assessment tailored to your needs, and you will have a dedicated care manager and care supervisor by your side throughout your journey. You will also have access to our 24 hour on call support line for added reassurance, day or night.
As a fully managed provider, we employ all of our care workers directly. That means we are responsible for their training, supervision and support — and we take that duty of care seriously. If your regular care worker is ever unwell or needs time off, we will arrange a suitable replacement without any disruption to your routine.
We are proud to be fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission, giving you confidence that the care you receive meets high standards of safety and quality.
This is very different from introductory services or agencies, who simply connect you with a self employed carer and leave the rest to you. With Retons Care, you are never left to manage care alone. We are here to take the pressure off, so you and your loved ones can focus on what matters most.
