How we help
When you contact us we will discuss your situation and answer any questions you might have. If you are interested in taking matters forward, we will arrange to visit your home to determine the type of care you require. (A process known formally as ‘carrying out an assessment).
We would then e-mail or write to you with a proposal, and usually include a profile of the carer we would initially place with you.

- Stroke
- Palliative Care
Our Carers
Goldfinch Carers are meticulously screened, reference checked, interviewed, trained and supervised in accordance with CQC strict vetting regulations.
Most of our carers are of a mature age who have raised families of their own, so in addition to having professional training, they have the necessary compassion and life skills for caring.
Goldfinch Carers are supervised and trained to perform household duties, personal care, and specialist elderly live in care including working with dementia, physical disabilities and palliative situations.
