Care Captains

When your loved one needs care, where do you start? Care Captains will help you navigate the care market to find them the best care possible.

WHAT IS CARE CAPTAINS? Care Captains is a care brokerage service, which means that we can help you to arrange the support your loved one needs, either at home or in residential care. The team is led by Dan O’Donoghue. As head of one of the UK’s largest home care providers for almost 20 years, Dan delivered over 4 million care visits per year. He also founded Cyril Flint Befrienders, a local charity to reduce loneliness and social isolation within the elderly community. Dan’s strong relationships with care providers, combined with his extensive knowledge of the care market, mean that he is well placed to help you navigate the care market and find the best possible care. WHY DO I NEED A CARE BROKER? "72% of people who contact their Local Authority for care don’t receive long term support." Finding the right care for a member of your family is a daunting task. You may know what type of care they would like, or you might never have talked to them about their preferences for care. Do they need to move into residential care, or are there services available to support them at home? How do you find a care provider, and when you do find one, how do you know if they are any good? Whether to receive care in your own home or move into a residential care home is a life changing decision. Sadly, it’s one that people often make without all the relevant facts because a choice needs making at a time of crisis, such as after a fall or sudden deterioration in health. The move into a care home is nearly always one way. It's not easy to transfer between care homes if you later feel that you made the wrong choice, and a poor decision can be costly to undo. A well organised and delivered care plan can offer comfort and support to your loved one. You achieve this when you choose the right type and amount of care, from the right provider, at the right price. WHAT CAN CARE CAPTAINS DO FOR ME? When you contact Care Captains, we take the time to get to know you, your loved ones, and their care needs. We can approach and negotiate with suitable care providers on your behalf to achieve the best quality of care and value for money. We can help organise budgets to pay for care costs and manage the care package on an ongoing basis, giving you peace of mind that your loved one is getting the best care for their needs. If you feel that a current care package is not quite right for your loved one, Care Captains can review it to see if it delivers the best value and quality. Let Care Captains take the stress out of arranging care for your family. Contact us on 0345 340 5065 or send us a Facebook message, then go back to enjoying your time together.

Why Choose A Care Broker?

A Care broker can provide various services to help you navigate the care market;

The Right time:
All too often people only put support in place following an incident which could have been prevented. Don’t wait for the trip or fall. Earlier intervention helps people stay fitter for longer.

The Right type of support:
A care home or sheltered scheme is not the inevitable destination for all. Most people would prefer to stay in their own home, in surroundings they trust and are comfortable with. People stay healthier for longer in their homes compared with a move into a residential setting. Designing an effective homecare plan is a key to achieving this.

The Right amount of support:
Less is more! We encourage an enabling approach to care delivery. It is all too easy to start doing tasks for people that they are capable of doing themselves, thus reducing their capabilities and making them more dependent upon others.

By selecting the Right provider:
When searching locally, the array of different providers all offering a wide range of services can be overwhelming. The right care providers will offer flexible, bespoke solutions and treat each client as an individual. It shouldn’t be the client that has to fit what the provider has to offer which, unfortunately, can often be the case.

Only paying the Right price:
As there are a vast spectrum of providers then so there is a wide range of prices set. It should be noted here that the care market is not an exemplary model. Paying more does is no way guarantee better care. Care Captains seek out the outstanding care providers who offer value for money.

Who We Work With…

We work with many homecare and residential care providers across the UK to find you the best care possible.

From national providers to small, local services, we will explore many avenues before agreeing on the best way forward.

The provider we select will have demonstrated a commitment to providing a high quality care service whilst understanding the need to be flexible in care plan design so that your budget goes as far as required.

As well as helping individuals organising their own care and families working on behalf of a loved one, we also work with local authorities looking to signpost and help their residents who do not qualify for direct council support.

We also assist solicitors, accountants, financial advisors and other professionals who act as a power of attorney and need assistance to organise and manage the healthcare needs of their clients. In such cases, Care Captains are able to act as a Health & Welfare Lasting Power of Attorney and take on responsibility for care decisions in line with our client’s expressed intent.

Navigating Your Way Through The Care Market can be complex.

There are over 12,000 homecare providers and in excess of 20,000 care homes in the UK.

In your area, there will be dozens of providers that could work with you. Each offering a variety of services, with certain specialisms, differing levels of quality, contrasting capacities to deliver and a wide range of prices to pay.

Entrusting your care or that of a loved one to others to manage is a great responsibility but it is an undertaking we are used to and happy to accept.

The Care Captains team has been established by Dan O’Donoghue.

For almost 20 years, Dan was the Managing Director of one of the UK’s largest homecare providers with branches across the UK. Responsible for delivering over 4 million care visits per year, great experience and understanding of how care should be planned was gained. The company was sold in 2019, with the last CQC inspection before sale awarding the company an ‘Outstanding’ rating.
