Strathcarron Hospice’s social enterprise care service ‘Creative Homecare’ has been rated ‘excellent’ for the third year in a row following an unannounced Care Inspectorate visit.

Creative Homecare is a paid-for homecare service, and as a community-owned social enterprise, we reinvest every penny of profit directly into Strathcarron Hospice.

This allows us to continue to provide end of life care services to individuals and their families across our communities.

The service was awarded:

6 – Excellent for Supporting People’s Wellbeing

6 – Excellent for Our Staff Team

5 – Very Good for Care Planning

Julie Craig, Creative Homecare Business Development Manager, said: "Our Creative Homecare staff thrive to give the best care, support and experience possible for all our customers.

“This ‘excellent’ inspection grade reflects the compassion, professionalism, and dedication of our support workers who deliver high-quality, person-centred care Monday to Friday across Falkirk and Stirling.

“We are incredibly proud of our team and deeply grateful to every family who shared such positive feedback with inspectors.”

The sustainable funding model which supports the Hospice means that each person who purchases the support of Creative Homecare helps to raise the £19,452 needed every single day to continue providing its vital hospice care free to the community.
