Direct Payments Contingency covered by Agency

Golden Years Care Ltd
The Company Number is 7405832
Registered with CQC

We are new forward thinking company who has developed the following initiative.
To provide cover for Direct Payment and Personal Budget Clients who employ their own PA's in North Staffordshire.
We will endeavor to provide a contingency and much needed cover for
Annual leave
Maternity or Parental leave
Personal assistant ends their employment. (cover until another PA is employed)
Long-term sick.
Where possible we will endeavor to cover short-term sickness.

We aim to offer this service 365 days a year and at a price of 10.37 per hour. This will give a person another option of contingency cover without having to arrange a Social worker visit to put an agency rate into the care package. We also feel that this service will help people who may feel they are in a crisis and ensure the assessed need is covered until the PA returns to work or another PA is employed.
