What we do
Our home visits are typically agreed in 30-minute, 45-minute or an hours call depending on the requirements. Our needs and wellbeing assessment will give you a clear picture of how long we need to complete the care required.
We have a local office with an experienced team that will regularly review your package of care to ensure any changes in care or support is reflective in your personalized care plan. We also operate a 24-hour emergency service, so you have a direct link to Shire, regardless of the time.
Our aim is to keep you at home, happy and healthy.
We have a division dedicated solely to managing 24-hour, complex packages. We work within the private sector and with local councils and CCG’s staffing and managing complex packages.
We will firstly assign a team of Care Workers that will cover the rota on a shift basis. We will limit the amount of Carers assigned to ensure consistency with care. A dedicated Coordinator and Field Care Supervisor will be assigned to ensure the package of care remains suitable and effective.
Your care team will be fully equipped with bespoke training that suits your health conditions and care needs. Our experience in this field makes us the perfect provider to successfully manage any 24-hour package, regardless of the complexities.
We have been providing Live-In care packages for over 8 years. Our focus is to provide a safe and familiar environment with a focus on maintaining independence, options and choice.
A care plan will be designed based on our health and wellbeing assessment and will be visible in your home giving the Live-In Care Worker a step-by-step guide on how to support you. The plan of care will be reviewed regularly to ensure all changes in mobility, circumstance or health are reflected.
Your Live-In Care Worker will undergo a tailored interview to ensure they are not only capable of delivering your care and support, but they are the right personality fit.
The need for emergency care is growing due to the limited resources now available. As a provider with over 8 years experience, we have built a workforce of Carers in your local area, so we always have a staff team available.
We understand that in an emergency situation, you may need care to commence within an hour so we have developed an emergency response team that can provide an assessment over the phone if required to not delay support. We are able to offer emergency welfare calls, live-in care, 24-hour complex support or night sits.
Despite the care being an emergency, this will not impact the quality of our assessment and information gathering.
The period when someone is approaching the end of their life is inevitably difficult and emotional. We specialize in providing a rapid response that is both sensitive and supportive with a 24-hour on-call service.
We are highly trained in supporting people who are nearing the end of their life and will provide you with a dignified, sensitive and person-centred approach to meet the total needs of both the service user and the family involved. Our care is provided by a specially-trained team, who work alongside other healthcare professionals to provide a 360 package of care.
You will have a Care Manager, Coordinator and a Field Care Supervisor on hand to support the care team through the process.

Our story
Shire was first established in 2014 when the owners had a vision of creating a domiciliary homecare agency. Within the first 12 months of trading, it was clear their passionate and innovative approach was paying dividends and Shire Homecare Services was born. 8 years on, we now deliver 200,000 hours of care each year, employ over 100 members of staff and care for hundreds of vulnerable individuals in the community. Our ability to deliver a safe and effective service was evident in our latest CQC inspection where we scored GOOD.
Our board of Directors have over 30 years’ combined sector experience and use their knowledge and skills to drive excellence in all we do.
