ABOUT US
At Aala Care, we know how hard it is to trust someone else with your health, safety and happiness or that of an elderly relative. We recognise the difference between providing care and giving care, under the umbrella of domiciliary care. Our responsibility and commitment to you and your family is to provide the highest quality service at all times. Aala Care will take the time to understand your specific needs in all circumstances and customise a care plan, not FOR you, but WITH you.
Our team leaders, senior home carers and professional carers are all highly trained and always strive to improve and provide the highest level of service. We work with private individuals as well as accept direct payments in support of the local authorities.
Some of the services provided include:
- Hygiene assistance
- Meal preparation / diet monitoring
- Light housekeeping
- Errands and Shopping
- Companionship
- Day-visits / night-sitting
- Mornings, mid-day, evenings, nights
- Temporary or long term
- Weekends, holidays
- Respite for family caregivers
We adhere strictly to all Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines and where possible far exceed them. We work hand in hand, in all aspects of our work, with the CQC ensuring that the service we provide is responsible and excellent.
The UK Home Care Association provides constant support and guidance on industry developments and techniques. We try, where possible, to provide the highest level of support using the most advanced of techniques and technology. All research and information is scrutinised to ensure we are constantly at the fore front of our care industry.
PUBLIC FUNDING
Understanding the different sources of funding available for social care can be quite confusing. At Aala Care, we are committed to simplifying the process, ensuring that people have full information at their fingertips.
With the Government planning to personalise adult social care services even further, many people across the country can now access Individual Budgets, Personal Budgets, Direct Payments and Independent Living Fund Payments.
Personal Budgets
Personal Budgets are an allocation of funding to meet assessed needs. This allows a person to have control and choice over how their care needs are met and by whom. It can either be taken as a Direct Payment or left with councils to commission services, or a combination of both. There is, therefore, a choice for people who do not want to take on the responsibility of Direct Payment themselves. Personal Budgets are being introduced by councils over the next three years.
Individual Budgets
Individual Budgets – sometimes called Individualised Budgets – differ in that they cover a multitude of funding streams, besides adult social care, eg Supporting People, Disabled Facility Grant, Independent Living Funds, Access to Work and Community Equipment Services. Similar to Personal Budgets, an Individual Budget can be taken as a Direct Payment or left with the council to administer. It can also be given to another organisation to be managed on behalf of the user, or any combination of the above methods, giving the person choice about how they receive and manage their care package
