Welcome to SPDNS Homecare

SPDNS Homecare provides care for people in their own homes and supports families in their caring role. We are proud to have celebrated our 45th Anniversary in May 2024. Our staff are caring, knowledgeable and well trained, supported by experienced Managers. We also work in partnership with St Luke’s Hospice to provide community Hospice services. As a Community Interest Company our purpose is to support people in our community and employ staff living locally, any profit is invested in the business.

Following our last inspection by the Care Quality Commission our Adult Social Care service was rated GOOD with no areas requiring improvement.

Our Hospice at Home service was rated GOOD by CQC in January 2023.

Comments from our latest CQC reports

Summary from the Care Quality Commission Inspection Report January 2020

People's experience of using this service and what we found

The service had strong vision and values which placed the importance on people being fully involved in all aspects of care, where independence was promoted.

People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.

People told us staff were outstandingly caring, proactively identifying unmet needs and supporting these to be met in creative ways. They told us staff often going the extra mile to support them.

People who lacked capacity to make decisions had undergone appropriate assessments involving loved ones and other nominated people such as power of attorney for health and welfare.
