Most Leading Home Care Service Providers to Know in 2023 ‘H H ome’ is perceived by senior adults as a place where they live in a peaceful environment independently. Caring for elderly patients can be tiring. On top of dealing with different illnesses and juggling multi-faceted care, in-home health providers also have to manage the expectations of the families they work for. care service providers to help the industry better. Notwithstanding the risk of competition that may arise, the PBL Care team believes in collaboration to make the healthcare industry better rather than competing with other service providers. Under the compassionate leadership of Mohammed Lalji, the Founder and Director of PBL Care, every care worker in the organization is professionally trained to deliver quality care. These care workers are passionately dedicated to developing meaningful relationships with the seniors. This sets PBL Care apart from other caregiving services. It takes a high level of commitment to ensure that care is administered professionally. The service client chooses should be respectful of their loved one and their family. With domiciliary care, the client’s needs are always put first, simply because you are one-to-one with the carer. Domiciliary care is preferred by many, in which the clients are cared for individually, allowing for a more bespoke and personalized level of care. The residential care homes are quite the opposite; it comes to mind when the home environment becomes unsafe, and the ratio of staff to residents is very low. Let’s learn more about PBL Care’s operations in delivering the modern needs of senior care efficiently. Serving Population in Diverse Areas PBL’s population demographics are highly dependent on the type of contract that it has and the areas that it must work in. At present, the company is currently working in Birmingham, alongside working in Coventry, Solicole and Sandwell. It will soon be expanding to Wolverhampton. Enabling a plethora of services that contribute to providing safety and comfort while improving and enhancing care for golden-aged people in the comfort of their own homes, PBL Care stands out as the leading organization that understands the importance of people regaining and maintaining control over their lives, with close to no requirement of external support. It has designed its services to support individual choices at every step of ageing. Unlike residential care homes, the company provides a viable alternative where senior adults could seek care in the comfort of their homes, no matter how intense their needs are. While inviting a carer inside the home could be stressful, expensive, and prone to several risks, PBL Care ensures that every individual is comfortable with the care, by observing all the necessary government protocols, working with highly qualified in- house professional carers, and using the right technologies to deliver efficiency. Since PBL Care has been highly rated by the NHS as a five- star company through the regulator CQC, people reach out to seek its services. However, the company doesn't intend to promise services that it may not be able to provide, depending on the capacity and staffing. However, PBL Care prides itself in having a smooth, respectable, and open culture within the industry. PBL is committed to providing safety and comfort to senior adults which is one of the core values of the company; that seniors must be able to live independently with utmost safety. More specifically, it ensures that its caregivers and staff can provide the best life at home without any threat to their safety measures. Today, PBL is empowering patients with holistic home care service and supporting healthcare companies to serve their patients and make the healthcare industry better, while satisfying all the regulatory policies in the home care sector. They are providing data and various support to other home
in general, PBL Care serves a wide range of communities, i.e., from the Asian community, the Afro-Caribbean community, and the English to the Irish community; together, they all make a family at PBL. However, with the support of technological advancements, the company is looking to provide more services, targeting several locations in the near future. A way to provide a safe and effec?ve service is by ensuring that consistent care is provided. This would mean having staff that will be consistent in their roles. In addition to serving senior adults, PBL Care is also equipped to provide adult social care for those who are 18 plus, including those with medical conditions like learning disabilities, mental health issues, physical disabilities and several related. Maintaining Transparency and Efficient Communication PBL prides itself in having a smooth, respectable and open culture within the industry. There is a high level of transparency and streamlined communication that eases the operational flow, with each member being aware of others’ expectations and deliveries. mouth. But there is still a big gap in this matter. In addition, even when the staff is hired, there is no consistency as they would start their role and, after a few months, find it unsuitable for them. Speaking of communication, the patients at PBL can call its staff or any of its management team at any time of the day, for they are assured that someone will be available for them. They don’t feel like they are receiving a service, but rather consider themselves as part of a big family. This reflects a level of confidence, trust and reassurance that they have towards the company. To address this gap, the company has acquired a license to be able to recruit people from overseas. This method is rarely followed by other care providers in the industry. But this method works well and has helped the company stand out from the rest. In addition, PBL’s caregivers’ team also works in a structured and organized manner that helps identify an issue even before it arises. For instance, Power Bi is one of the systems that they use that displays how many times a week, a carer checked in five minutes late or the number of times a carer has reached five minutes early. This way, the company has the required resources, staff, software and team to mitigate risks efficiently. No conflict goes untapped when it comes to patient care. A way to provide a safe and effective service is by ensuring that consistent care is provided. This would mean having staff that will be consistent in their roles. PBL Care, by recruiting staff from overseas, is assured that there will be a personal dedication to caring for the clients. Encouraging Compassion During Patient Interaction PBL encourages its staff and caregivers to display a level of compassion to build a meaningful relationship with a client. For this, it takes the recruitment processes very seriously. It ensures that the interviewees have some level of emotional intelligence or those who have gone through life and understand the importance of compassion. Those are people suitable to work in the industry and crucial to care services at the company. Addressing Challenges In the Care Industry At present, one of the biggest challenges in the industry is ‘Recruitment.’ Over the years, PBL has attempted multiple methods to recruit interested caregivers, like advertising on job platforms like Indeed, Reed, Gumtree and Totaljobs. Social media like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and all sorts of platforms to attract potential staff, including word of
The care workers at PBL Care are also trained to follow specific protocols to ensure their safety as well as the pa?ents’ safety.
Founder’s Journey —In His Own Words When I was pursuing leadership and management in health and social care, it was directly linked to where I was working at that ?me. That enabled me to create an impact on the industry. I asked myself, “Where can we take the industry in the future? What trends have worked in the past and what have not?” Such knowledge directed me towards desirable outcomes. For instance, through the technology that we use, we’re able to iden?fy the trends within the care and accordingly assist our employees in making decisions that meet the pa?ent’s needs. Implementing Effective Care Decisions clients are provided with Fitbit watches that allow the workers to keep track of their movements and blood pressure to estimate their risks of burning themselves or falling. Initially, a patient approaches PBL Care through a specific contract provided by the NHS, council, or through individual needs. In response, the PBL Care senior care workers who are trained in risk assessment and developing care and support plans, look at the client’s best interest. These workers can identify the client’s needs, risk situations and environment and carry out risk assessments accordingly. Role of NHS in PBL Care Services NHS greatly contributes to PBL Care services by procuring clients who leave hospitals or seek complex care. This way of co-working is essential to bring home complex service users. For this reason, the company needs to maintain effective communication and transfer services without any disruptions. In addition, the company makes use of the Best Interest Tool, which is effective when clients are unable to express what they want or need. Through this tool, the company could take into consideration the client’s family members involved, or other people like the hospital team, doctors, GPs, or even the court, to make the best choice for them. Wrapping Up Every client has a story to share. PBL Care aims to become part of their stories and make a difference in their lives. For instance, recently, the company has had a daughter reach out after her mother passed away. PBL Care workers were already caring for her before she passed away. Ensuring the Safety of Patients and the Caregivers The care workers at PBL Care are also trained to follow specific protocols to ensure their safety as well as the patients’ safety. During instances where a situation goes out of their control, they follow protocols like calling emergency services, the ambulance, or fire services or even leaving the building. They are also equipped with de- escalating skills for any situation. Moments when someone displays challenging behaviour, the staff member would already have expertise in managing this situation with the client. During the interaction, the daughter said that PBL Care was a family to her late mother. She said, “Look, she was waiting for you; she just wanted to see you,” as this lady had one caregiver for three to four years and had developed a bond with her. Such an incident reflects that the staff at PBL truly care, and this is the vision that the company will continue to go about. Implementing technology is yet another strategy to improve safety measures and control at home. For instance, the

Get to Know Saumya, the Director and Owner of Beyond Scale Saumya Mishra, born and brought up in India, pursued my graduation from GBPUA& T, Pant Nagar, Uttaranchal and MS from BHU, Varanasi. She moved to the UAE after marriage. Moving there was a huge learning curve for her. It was much easier to reach out to the NRI population across the globe, as the country itself was a cultural melting pot of different nationalities. This made her work more interesting & challenging at the same time. "I got acquainted with eating habits, food, or food preferences and its availability in different parts of the globe. A person of the same Indian origin will have a completely different eating habit from his counterpart in India. This required me to dig deeper into researching and understanding food wisdom," adds Saumya. Professionally Saumya is a Licensed nutritionist (UAE), Diabetic Educator, Nutrigenomic Counselor, a Diploma holder in Sports Nutrition (Gulf Medical University, UAE), and a Life Member of the Indian Dietetic Association. She has been practising as a dietitian in the UAE with Multinationals for more than a decade now. When she is not doing this, she will find herself occupied with reading books or making her world better by composting, recycling, gardening, or practising minimalism. "Smart eating habits are a lifelong commitment. Food should spark joy, not misery. I want to make nutrition simple yet effective without the guilt. I have helped hundreds of clients transform their lives through a sustainable lifestyle and better food choices," she adds. February 2023 20|www.insightscare.com

Most Leading Home Care Service Providers to Know in 2023 Live-in-Care Direct An Alternative Care Solution for the Elderly J amie, a wife in her mid-30s, takes the responsibility of looking after her mother-in-law, who suffers from dementia. Alongside caretaking, she also works full time. Being on the verge of an emotional breakdown, her husband suggests seeking help for her mother-in-law. However, she is not willing to put her mother-in-law in a residential care home. Currently, the agency supports families across the UK to improve the way live-in care is offered, improving the lives of the elderly and those with long-term illnesses in the comfort of their own homes without the need to be uprooted into residential care homes. Journey to Success Jason Russell dropped out of school at the age of 16 years old and is now a self-made entrepreneur, having made a success in the debt and care industry. What is this hesitancy towards residential care homes—that keeps adult children from sending their parents? Perhaps the caregiver’s guilt, “Our parents cared for us when we were kids. So, we must do the same now that they are old.” He launched Live-in Care Direct whilst running Debt Wave, an FCA-regulated company, which in 2018 became one of the UK’s largest introductory debt counseling agencies, offering IVA’s, DMP’s, Protected Trust Deeds and Debt Relief Orders. Care, in such a scenario, is often perceived in the form of extremes, i.e., either caring for parents at home or sending them into residential care homes. Identifying the need for in-between care services, Live-in CareDirect manages to bridge the gap successfully. Jason has also worked on a multitude of ideas over the past 20 years, having launched numerous successful companies to make something of his life and a difference to others. Some of his ventures include Rabbit Rabbit, which offers low-cost international call solutions. Hydrospring, which imported Jacuzzis from the Far East; a high-end vehicle registration agency; a car marketing agency, a swimming trunk brand; a real estate agency, a 50’s reproduction photography company, a social media company; and the list goes on! Based in the United Kingdom, Live-in Care Direct is an alternative care solution that ensures to meet the needs of an individual through the comfort of their own homes without having to relocate to a caregiving facility. Known for the immense popularity amongst the caregiving community, we at Insights Care crossed paths with Jason Russell, the Owner and CEO of Live-in Care Direct, to comprehend the operations that are improving the lives of the elderly. Jason has now found his passion in the care industry and is winning national awards against some of the largest agencies in the care sector. The Quest for Elderly Care Solutions Live-in Care Direct is an award-winning live-in care agency founded by the Owner and CEO Jason Russell. The inspiration for Live-in Care Direct had originally derived from Jason’s personal experiences while in search of care solutions for his own grandmother, during which he faced a multitude of complexities in finding a better alternative to a care home. He says, “For many, university and college provide a road to success, but it’s not the only road if you want to make a real difference. If you don’t keep pushing on with your ideas and dreams, you will end up being hired to build someone else’s dream – keep showing up and never give up! One of the biggest keys to success is consistency and staying focused!” February 2023 26|www.insightscare.com
The Value of a Home’s Comfort The idea behind launching Live-in Care Direct was to enable people to stay in the comfort of their home for a longer period, avoiding the stress and worries of moving into a residential care home. Hence, the team has been committed to providing the clients and their families with the highest quality live-in care and support in their own homes, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, taking responsibility towards their clients extremely seriously. “We are available seven days a week, from 8am to 10pm,” says Jason. He further states, “We aim to deliver an efficient, flexible, value-for-money quality life in personalized care and support service. We are here to enable and support clients to retain their independence of thought and ensure they are supported to live a positive fulfilled lifestyle, ensuring that our client is always treated with dignity and respect.” Live-in Care Direct strives to create an organization that raises the standards and offers quality care at home with a professional and friendly service.

To meet the objective, the agency provides the latest training and technology to ensure all our clients’ needs are met and fulfilled. Specializing ‘Live-In Care’ Service The key service that the agency specializes in is Live-in Care, which is inundated with inquiries about its newly built automated tech platform that enables customers to select carers. It is useful as it takes away the need to employ extra staff while being able to provide a service to all incoming leads. The agency plans to employ more staff towards the end of 2022 and is on track to become one of the largest tech-enabled live-in care agencies in the UK, rivalling elder technologies who has raised close to $20m over the past few months. Jason Russell Owner & CEO Live-in Care Direct February 2023 27|www.insightscare.com

For this reason, Live-in Care Direct has created a dedicated voice-activated wristband that caregivers can program to make sure that clients take medication on time should the caregiver be on a break. The remarkable technology also acts as a fall detection product, alerting the family and caregiver should a fall occur. “We are the first agency in the UK to offer this service, which will be completely free of charge to our clients,” adds Jason. Another huge breakthrough is Live-in Care Direct’s tech- based platform, which can store thousands of qualified carers, enabling it to offer professional, high-quality Live-in care anywhere across the whole of the UK, ensuring families benefit from a sensible and low-cost solution. One of the platform’s feature includes a family multimedia pack, which enables elderly clients to view photos and home videos of their loved ones. It has been helping a lot with the dementia clients that approach the agency. The platform is so clever that it also matches a database of films, images and music to the clients’ age and era.

They learn from their mistakes and successes.” Live-in Care Direct, to date, has become hugely successful without any investment and still remains privately owned.

By prioritizing preventive measures, home healthcare providers can help patients maintain their independence, enhance their quality of life, and achieve better health outcomes. Effective medication management can help prevent medication errors, reduce the risk of adverse drug events, and improve overall health outcomes.
