We are team of highly qualified and motivated professionals, who arranges social care for our members and members of the community who neds health and social care services.
The AHCPBG Health and Social Care Team compiles list of members and people in the community who would require social care services and helps them in arranging their needs.
We focus on the needs and abilities of our Service Users and not only on their disabilities and encourage and advice Service Users on how to make their own decisions and lifestyle choices, thereby promoting high quality person-centered care. We provide advice on several contracts for Home Care and Live-in Care for individuals and organisations in the communities for direct contracts with care providers and professional carers to suit individual needs.
The Service User is at all times the employer of the Carers and resource centre provides advice and payroll services to the Services User with disabilities in the communities. These services and advice are free to Service Users on our scheme. As a Home Care and Independent Living Advice Service we will be subject to regular evaluations by our collaborating organisations and our Service users in the communities. They undertake regular announced and unannounced visits during which we are expected to demonstrate our competence in providing a safe, high quality advice and services to our clients.
We can also arrange for candidates who have both administrative and social care qualifications to provide both care and administrative services within the community settings. This would enable the candidate to continue to work for us, and also provide health and social care services to a Service User, who is also our volunteer in the community due to health problems and disabilities. Please contact us at info@iahcpbg.org for more details.
In addition we provide specialist advice services to various organisations to suit their needs. We have a dedication to our Service Users and their staff, and we encourage our team to provide high quality in health and social care advice and payroll services in the community.
