Compassion has become synonymous with Belper’s Whites Community Care Ltd, a home care company that both enables and empowers those in need of its services to live a happier and healthier life. From helping its clients to engage with healthcare professionals and other necessary specialists to supporting them in their own homes, this team offer their excellent services for as long as is needed, aiding with the likes of domestic tasks through to full sit-in care and everything in between. Most Compassionate Home Care Company 2024 - Derbyshire Since being founded in 2021, Whites Community Care has carved out a welldeserved reputation for itself on the back of delivering its signature brand of compassionate home care to people from 18 years-old through to the end of their life. Designing its visits around the wellbeing of the person in question whilst maintaining a strong community presence, this is a company that effortlessly strikes the balance between delivering outstanding care and allowing the client to maintain both their dignity and their independence. Led by a team of directors who boast more than two decades of experience between them working in the care and support industries in a variety of provisions, from 24-hour wrap-around care to supported living, Whites Community Care prizes consistency and adaptability in equal measure. Any changes and updates are communicated regularly to staff, enabling them to use their autonomy and unique skillsets to offer care to each client that is not only personalised but always in keeping with their specific and changing needs. Its is elements such as this that ultimately feed into Whites Community Care’s textbook internal culture, promoting a transparent, forward-thinking working environment for all, one where ideas are freely shared, and flexibility is paramount. This is reflected in the day-to-day services carried out by the business, which can see schedules change on a dime to support the likes of hospital and doctor’s appointments, which the team are happy to help clients schedule and attend, working closely with their family and friends every step of the way. All of this points towards one thing – the commitment that the team here have to making sure that a client is free to stay in their own home for as long as it is safe and possible for them to do so. With the company being based in Derbyshire, a beautiful county but one that has a wealth of both rural and semi-rural areas encompassed within, delivering this calibre of care in the comfort of a client’s own home is not always easy, particularly when weather and environmental conditions do not allow for the more remote regions to be reached via car. Despite these struggles, Whites Community Care’s drive to support and care for the vulnerable remains steadfast, as this is the sort of job where days off are simply not an option. To overcome the barriers operating in this region brings, the team have previously employed such initiatives as clubbing together and visiting clients on foot during the heavy snow of the festive season, as well as tackling the hurdle of the recent Derbyshire floods by utilising the vehicles of team members that were suitable for travelling in such adverse conditions. The cherry on top of Whites Community Care’s service is most certainly its comprehensive staff training and supervision, something which ensures that the highest standards are achieved consistently across its operation. Staff are trained proficiently via the meticulous combination of one-to-one training sessions, induction days, and even online distance learning, covering all of the areas that this job requires in as in-depth a manner as possible. Other training and development opportunities include role shadowing and workbook training. With Whites Community Care embodying such a degree of excellence across the board, it is no surprise that those in other communities throughout the UK have started to recognise the growing demand for services of this calibre. On the back of this, the company is excited to announce that an expansion is currently underway, with another registered service having recently opened up in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. This is by no means the end however, as the company eventually seeks to bring its distinguished services into UK care homes. “We are wanting to be able to provide outstanding and person-centred care to more people and enable them to live their best life with our support”, says Craig White. It is this undying pledge that has resulted in Whites Community Care Ltd being recognised as the Most Compassionate Home Care Company 2024 – Derbyshire.
