Our Links

Gracious Care is committed to providing our staff with the best training available to the industry. We believe that it's only through careful selection during the recruitment process, followed up by targetted training, that we can give our carers the tools they need to be able to deal with the wide-ranging and ever-changing needs of our customers. The government need to arrive at statistics to measure effective training in the industry. 

We are pleased to be able to contribute to the collection of data to assist the government as they assess and monitor the social care workforce. Skills for Care is the umbrella body we and many other care providers report our progress to, regarding staff training.

We do like to blow our own trumpet. Of course we do! But in this context, by reporting the excellent training standards Gracious Care give to our staff, we raise the expected standards of training across the whole of our sector.

If you're a customer of ours, you already know that our standards are high and this is as a direct result of our insistance that our staff take full advantage of the training programmes offered.

By the way, I bet you're wondering what ASC-WDS stands for. It's Adult Social Care - Workforce Data Set. So that's cleared that up!

People in Business Bromley are a networking group we've been part of since Gracious Care started.

If something obscure, related to running a business comes up, someone amongst the amazing folk in this group will have come across it before. Together, we work through all the pitfalls and overcome all the obstacles and this allows our businesses to thrive. PIB Bromley is the single most important source of information, encouragement and business advice available.

We meet once a month for breakfast, not outrageously early, on a Thursday. If you're a person in business, we recommend that you take a look at what PIB Bromley have to offer.

Community Involvement

We've been working with the lovely hardworking staff and managers at the Hub on Rye Hill for well over a year and we're developing ideas for support groups in the local community.

Christine has found that there is a consistent demand for advocacy in connection with the care, support and financial help available for those living with dementia but also for their loved ones.

We're always overwhelmed by the huge support efforts the family members apply to the care of their dementia affected relatives, taking the relentless demands of the condition in their stride for months and years. Often, we can ease the burdon, sometimes with respite care, sometimes with an extra pair of hands.
