📣 **WIGAN RESIDENTS—KNOW YOUR CARE RIGHTS**

Have you been told that you must accept the care provider arranged for you?

If you are eligible for council-funded adult social care, you can ask Wigan Council about receiving your personal budget as a **Direct Payment**. This can give you greater choice and control—including choosing who provides your care.

You should not feel pressured into believing that you have no say.

Ask these important questions:

✅ Am I eligible for a Direct Payment?
✅ Can I choose a different registered care provider?
✅ What choices are available to me?
✅ Who can help me make an informed decision?

The Care Quality Commission expects people to know their rights and have choice and control over their care. Wigan Council’s own information confirms that Direct Payments can allow eligible people to choose who provides their services.

At Essential Homecare, we believe people deserve care that is safe, reliable and built around their individual needs—not simply what is most convenient for the system.

If you or a family member would like to understand your options, contact us for an informal, no-obligation conversation:

📞 **01942 380135**
📧 **[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])**
🌐 **[www.essentialhomecare.uk](http://www.essentialhomecare.uk)**

Please share this post. People across Wigan deserve to know that they may have a choice.

🎉 WE’VE GOT SOME WONDERFUL NEWS! 🎉

We are incredibly proud to share the outcome of our recent CQC inspection — Essential Homecare has been officially rated GOOD overall, with OUTSTANDING in Well-Led! 💙⭐

The inspection report describes Essential Homecare as “one big family”—and that means so much to us because it perfectly reflects the culture we have worked hard to create.

Our managers lead with compassion, honesty and courage, while our care practitioners work tirelessly every day to provide safe, respectful and genuinely person-centred care. We care about the people we support, their families and one another.

The inspector was particularly impressed by our leadership and governance, commenting that she had never seen governance at this level. Receiving an Outstanding rating for Well-Led is wonderful recognition of the strong culture, systems, learning and teamwork behind everything we do.

Most importantly, this rating reflects the experiences of the people we support and their families. We are grateful to everyone who shared their views and continues to place their trust in us.

We are immensely proud of our managers, care practitioners and everyone who has supported Essential Homecare since we began. We have grown tremendously, but we have never lost sight of what matters most: caring for people properly and treating everyone as an individual.

We will celebrate this achievement, but we will not stand still. We will keep listening, learning and improving as we continue building a service that Wigan can be proud of.

Please join us in congratulating our wonderful managers and the entire Essential Homecare family! 👏💙⭐

We Care. We Are Positive. We Are Brave. We Take Ownership.

🎉 Congratulations, Angela Schofield! 🎉

A huge congratulations to our fantastic Training and Development Manager, Angela Schofield, on successfully achieving her Teaching and Learning Qualification! 👏📚

If you've ever attended one of Angela's training sessions, you'll know exactly what we're talking about...

She's loud. She's passionate. She's full of energy. She has incredibly high standards. And yes... she can be a little scary! 😄

But behind that larger-than-life personality is someone who genuinely cares about developing others and making sure every member of our team has the knowledge, confidence and skills to deliver outstanding care.

Angela delivers all of our mandatory and refresher training, including:
✅ Safeguarding
✅ Moving and Handling
✅ Basic Life Support
✅ Medication
✅ Infection Prevention and Control..and much more.

Nothing gets past Ang. Her attention to detail is second to none, and she won't settle for "that'll do." She believes every member of staff should leave training feeling confident, competent and ready to make a difference.

Her positivity is infectious, her passion is inspiring, and everyone at Essential Homecare knows that every now and then... we all need a dose of Ang! 💙

We're incredibly proud of your commitment to continuous learning and the positive impact you have on our team every single day.

Congratulations, Ang – this achievement is thoroughly deserved, and we can't wait to see what you accomplish next! 🌟

Me at the beginning of my care journey aged 24.
26 years ago!! 💕💕💕

31/03/2026

Today marks 3 years since we received our CQC registration happy birthday to Essential Homecare 🎉

What a journey it’s been. From day one, I started armed only with my uniform, ID badge, PPE, and a determination to deliver the highest standard of care… to the strong, respected service we’ve built today.

There have been highs and lows along the way, but through it all, one thing has never changed our commitment to doing the right thing for the people we care for.

This team has been built one great person at a time. Every single one of our staff have played a part in shaping who we are and what we stand for. The reputation we’ve earned together is something to be proud of and it continues to grow stronger every day.

I’m truly grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Thank you for your hard work, your compassion, and your belief in what we’re building.

Here’s to everything we’ve achieved… and everything still to come.

Happy 3rd birthday, Essential Homecare 💙
