A HOME care company has expanded into Wirral.
Caremark, one of the UK’s largest home care providers, launched its newest branch at an official opening attended by the Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Brian Kenny, who applauded the Caremark Wirral staff for all their hard work in providing this essential service.
Councillor Kenny said: "You’re here to help people live more independent lives with your support, so I support, and applaud the dedication of your staff.
"This is going to create more jobs for people that live in the Wirral, and any organisation which is going to be creating more jobs and, at the same time, have more people caring for others in the community who need it, is fantastic thing."
Caremark will offer personalised, at-home care for people living with conditions including acquired brain injury, Alzheimer’s and dementia, diabetes, Huntington’s, learning disabilities, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and physical disabilities.
Managing director and owner Partson Mazvaramhaka said Caremark Wirral is already "accepting referrals" and private customers, and is "actively recruiting" care assistants to serve residents across the area.
Mr Mazvaramhaka said: "My journey to this moment didn’t begin in a boardroom but at the bedside.
"After years of working in NHS and private hospitals, I saw a critical need for extra care in our community.
"Care that does not just meet standards but exceeds them. Care that sees the person, not just the customer.
"My message to the people of the Wirral is: we are here for you.
"We are ready to serve, to support, and to make a real difference."
He said Caremark Wirral is seeking to work with Wirral Council and is in talks with the Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust to support hospital discharges and NHS referrals from Arrowe Park Hospital.
The branch is part of a network of more than 140 offices nationwide.
David Glover, joint CEO of Caremark, said: "The demand for home care assistance has increased dramatically in recent years.
"We are actively trying to be part of the solution to the care crisis."
