Domiciliary Care in Huddersfield

Able Care Huddersfield Ltd is a private, professional domiciliary care service providing quality care in your own home.

The aim being to provide a quality, consistent and affordable service, at a time when quality domiciliary care is in high demand, in part due to an ageing population. Able Care is passionate about providing a tailor made service, respecting the individuality of service users, and their preferred day to day routines. Able Care is based in Almondbury, Huddersfield and covers the surrounding areas including, Almondbury, Waterloo, Dalton, Moldgreen, Kirkheaton, Lepton, Fenay Bridge, Farnley Tyas, Honley, Netherton, Lockwood, Berry Brow and Newsome. Other areas can be considered.

The Able Care team has a wide knowledge of the standards expected by governing bodies, and over 25 years’ experience, with each member of staff bringing different, and essential skills to the team. All staff are trained to a high standard and receive continuous training, supervision, mentoring and ongoing support, in order to ensure that best practise is always maintained. We welcome and appreciate feedback both positive and negative in order to help us to continually strive to improve our service to you as an individual.

As a small company Able Care Huddersfield Ltd feel that we are able to offer a more personal experience, with consistency in regard to carers, quality and timings of calls, meaning that the service remains as personal to you as it does to us.

Able Care was created and developed by myself Emma Howarth, Registered Manager. I have 25 years’ experience working across Kirklees Council over different sectors including Residential Care, Domiciliary Care and the last 12 years spent working in a busy hospital Social Work team. This has given me the insight, understanding and empathy for clients, and their families, trying to navigate their way around the health and social care system. On both a personal and professional level, I have experience of how confusing and frustrating this can be, particularly at times of crisis and uncertainty for what the future holds for their loved ones.

My aim is to use the experience and knowledge that I have gained to make this a smoother, less confusing process for all involved, and to use my knowledge and experience to ensure that service users and their families have the information that they need.

During my time in the Social Work team, part of my role was to conduct reviews of care packages. The main concern consistently raised by both service users and their families was that there was often an inconsistency of carers, timings of calls were sporadic and sometimes rushed. As a small company we aim to be consistent with the same carers, kept on time with visits, and we have a minimum 30 minutes call out so no one feels that they are rushed in receiving and given care.
