The Autumn Years Care Story
As the saying goes “A rose by any other name would still smell just as sweet”, however when it comes to Home Care Providers this saying simply isn’t true. Just like people, no two Home Care Providers are the same. Here at Autumn Years Care we pride ourselves on offering what we think is the best Home Care in the area. Always happy to go that extra mile, so that you can get the Care and Support you need.
Every company has its story, its reason behind why it first started and here is ours
Christina Walford became passionate about providing Care to people having been the main Carer for her elderly Mother. She found the experience both rewarding and humbling in equal measure and made a decision that she would change careers and move into the Care industry so that she could help others in their time of need too.
Having started working for a local Home Care Provider Christina quickly became disillusioned at what she saw. During this period she felt the Care offered by the company she worked for just wasn`t up to standard, nor was the way in which the company treated its employees.
Christina, driven by her desire to provide the very best Care possible, by employees who were both happy and treated well decided to create Autumn Years Care. To this day the company has kept its core principles at the heart of everything it does, always staying focused on providing excellent Home Care, by happy Carers. Always striving to be better and never accepting the norm.
Today Autumn Years Care continues to provide great Home Care, winning many Awards along the way. This is our story, this is why we do what we do. We would love to hear your unique life story, so if you are looking for Home Care, we would love to become a part of this chapter in your story, to help, to listen and to smile with you.
Autumn Years Care have a truly wonderful team of carers. Who have, without exception, looked after my mother with kindness, dignity and compassion at all times. We were always kept in the loop as to her needs, And we felt that mum was in expert hands.Thank you to all of them.

High standards for our carers
We have very high standards here at Autumn Years Care, so you can be assured that anyone we employ will be because they are great at what they do. All of our Carers undergo a through induction process when they join Autumn Years Care, no matter how much previous experience they have.
Because we know that providing the best care means having the best carers, we turn away far more than we employ, with less than 8% of applicants being offered a position with us. This strict recruitment process means standards are kept high.
Everyone will undertake many different courses and qualifications before and during their time here at Autumn Years Care.
In addition to all of our Carers being professional and well qualified, they are also very kind and compassionate. We value these latter two attributes just as highly as the first. To become an Autumn Year Care Carer you need to excel in all areas.
This strict recruitment process and constant ongoing training has led to one of our Care Workers winning The Great British Care Awards South East, Home Care Worker of the Year Award, something we are very proud of.
We will check references, Obtain DBS (Disclosure and Baring Services) Certificates (formally known as a Criminal Records Bureau check), before anyone is allowed to go into someone`s home to provide Care for them.
Everyone here at Autumn Years Care, from the frontline through to senior management all work as one team, all working towards the same goal of providing exceptional care to you.
