24 also provides sleep over service, escorting service
(individuals with health challenges), living in service. We
deliver our service in clients home, hospitals, Care Homes, Day

Associate , 20 of whom work on a casual basis. Currently we are
providing 2,000 hours plus of care each month.
We are also fully
aware that your home is your home and that sometimes having
other people, who are relatively new acquaintances there, may
feel a bit awkward. Don’t worry; we will assist you at home with
as little disruption as possible. A Care Manager will visit you
at home to assess your needs. All of our Care Managers are
Registered Nurses and are very competent in what they do. They
will then design a Care Plan, which will be regularly reviewed
and allocate a trained Carefirst 24 Home Care Associate (HCA) to
assist you. Where possible, we will ensure that you always get
the same HCA so that you know whom you’re getting – a face you
know.
