The directors and team at Westmorland Homecare strive to be the home-care provider of choice across the communities of the South Lakes, the Fylde coast and Wyre district.
We operate by changing lives, promoting wellbeing and delivering excellence at every opportunity.
Westmorland Homecare will always provide the service which is right for each individual, their personal circumstances and requirements.
Our operations in Kendal and South Lakeland have twice been awarded Outstanding status by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for being Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and a Well-led organisation. This recognition by the CQC is something we consider to be the benchmark, and a standard below which we are committed to never fall below. Currently (June 2023) all of our registered locations have an overall rating of Outstanding too!
Our ambition is to be the very best care provider it is possible to be and by having a well-resourced, well-staffed organisation embedded within the communities we serve we can deliver the absolutely best service possible.
Description Westmorland Homecare was founded by Dr Josh Macaulay and Dr Chris Moss with Russell Crossley. They had experience of caring for people in their NHS roles as an A&E doctor and anaesthetist, as well as family experience, but wanted to help people more than just whilst in hospital.
Going into hospital can be a scary experience for anyone and the feeling of getting back home is like no other. As they say, there’s no place like home.
All three frequently saw people coming into hospital after having poor care at home and, conversely, also saw people who couldn’t return to their own homes because the right support wasn’t available for them.
This was when Westmorland Homecare was born.
“We believe that no longer should people be forced into care homes and nursing homes, no longer should people suffer ill health and poor quality of life”. says Chris.
“Every individual should be free to remain in their home as long as they wish, they should be able to be as active and independent as ever before and should continue to have rich and fulfilling lives.”
That is the Westmorland Homecare mission and something we are dedicated to delivering every day.
