Our Policies

Transparent, fair, and built around your wellbeing. Our policies, your options, and our commitment to you.

Carer Safety

Pets – Due to concerns about potential risks, where clients have a pet, they must be able to be placed in an alternative room whilst care is taking place for the safety of both Client and Carer.

Smoking – we require that clients do not smoke whilst Carers are in your home.

Gifting – Carers are strictly prohibited to accept money from Clients of families. We
understand that some Clients and their families wish to gift our Carers from time to time. Carers are therefore able to accept a small gift of up to £10 from Clients providing this is declared by both Client and Carer.

Communication

We comply with Welsh Language Standards and offer services in Welsh wherever requested.

Your Care Plan is accessible digitally via our One Plan system. One Plan is Angelcare’s online digital system where all recorded documentation is kept. The system can be easily accessed by the Client and family using your unique logins.

Your One Plan login will be provided to you when your care package begins. Should you need them again please contact the office directly.

Cancelling Calls

For subsidised care, we are able to accept notice of cancellations on the day itself and do not request prior notice to be given. For private care we kindly ask where possible that 4 days notice is given to avoid full charges.

Termination of Services

Either party are entitled to terminate the contract at any given point with 28 days notice. The service will continue for the
duration of the notice period.

Home Security

If it is necessary for Angelcare to access your home, we will advise you to have a key-safe installed on the exterior of your property that is accessible with your key or fob placed inside. It is our policy that no employee accepts or carries keys on their person for a client’s property.
