New East Dorset home care provider open for business

Good Oaks Home Care East Dorset is open following full registration with the Care Quality Commission.

The home care provider will help people in homes across Wimborne, Ferndown, West Moors, Ringwood and the surrounding areas.

It offers both the option of visiting care, where carers visit clients in their homes, and live-in care and it aims to provide 40 jobs in the area in the next year.

Good Oaks East Dorset is led by co-founders, Sam Jones and Adam Downer. Sam and Adam met when working as care co-ordinators at another care company and became friends.

Their commitment to delivering high quality care inspired them to open their own home care franchise together.

Sam said: “In the current Covid-19 crisis, the role that carers play in our community is more vital than ever before.

“Carers provide a lifeline for elderly and vulnerable people, who rely on their assistance to be able to stay in their homes. It is fantastic that this is being recognised.

“This is an important time for all home care businesses and we are excited to be playing our part in combating Covid-19 by increasing the capacity for home care in our local area.

“We are confident that we will bring 40 jobs to the area in the next year.

Adam added: “My career in care began when my father became very unwell.

“I saw the amazing care that he received and started working in home care so that I could give others that same care.

“Sam and I believe that quality care starts with a careful recruitment process and robust, ongoing training for our carers.

“This protects and enhances the quality of our premium service: the standard of care we would all want for our own loved ones.

“Good Oaks East Dorset works closely with doctors, district nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists.

“We act as the focal point to coordinate and provide the best possible solution for our clients’ wants and needs.”
