THINGS are looking bright for Select Medicare as it has expanded into larger premises.
The firm, established in 1999, is now based at new offices at Tavern House, Station Road, Ardleigh.
Select Medicare has acquired the entire building and new facilities include a large training room, separate accounts office, a downstairs interview room and a number of offices for care co-ordinators and managers.
The training room is well-equipped and enables the company to provide a continuous training programme to its support workers to enable them to progress in the caring profession.
Select Medicare also has the facilities to enable people with disabilities to visit as it has a downstairs quiet room.
Select Medicare provides domiciliary care to vulnerable people in the community and also to supported housing projects and residential and nursing homes.
It is looking to recruit support workers due to the volume of work it has received and provides induction training to all support workers prior to them starting work.
It regularly supervises home carers.
Select Medicare's utmost aim is to provide people in the community with an excellent service.
Select Medicare has been awarded business awards for customer service in Colchester and the county.
