Falcon-Care Responds to National Care Crisis with Compassion and Innovation
As the UK’s care sector navigates growing pressures, rising costs, workforce shortages, and immigration changes—Falcon-Care is standing firm in its mission: delivering outstanding, dignified care to the people who need it most.
Led by Registered Manager Samantha, Falcon-Care continues to set a high standard for personalised home care in Lancashire, even as the national picture grows more complex.
Supporting Our Team Through National Challenges
Recent reports show that home care staff are now twice as likely to experience in-work poverty compared to the UK average. Falcon-Care is taking this seriously.
“We know how hard our carers work every day, often under great pressure,” says Sam, Registered Manager at Falcon-Care. “That’s why we’re investing in them—because they are the soul of this service.”
Falcon-Care’s staff support measures now include:
A dedicated Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub
Flexible rota planning to support work-life balance
Ongoing training, NVQ development, and mentorship
Adapting to Immigration Policy Shifts
With changes to the Social Care Worker visa expected later this month, Falcon-Care is proactively working with local networks and regional partnerships to safeguard the stability of its care workforce.
“Our team includes brilliant carers from around the world,” says Sam. “We’re doing everything we can to advocate for fair immigration policy while making sure our clients receive uninterrupted care.”
Delivering on the Promise of Home Based Care
As the NHS rolls out a 10-year plan to shift more care out of hospitals and into communities, Falcon-Care is already ahead of the curve:
24/7 home care packages tailored to individual needs
Integration with GPs, pharmacists, and hospital discharge teams
Use of telecare and remote check-in technologies for safety and convenience
“People heal better and live better at home,” says Sam. “We’ve known that for years—and it’s why our whole model of care is built around people, not institutions.”
At Falcon-Care, we remain committed to delivering safe, personal, and compassionate care even in uncertain times. With Sam and our incredible office and care team at the helm, we’ll continue to make a difference—one home at a time.
