PEOP LE are para­ mount to the success of Clitheroe-based All- car e Home Care Agency — from senior citizens to the very youngest members of the community, as the award-winning com­ pany launches its new s e r v i c e , A 11 c a r e Nannies.


Just two years have


passed since mothers Mrs Yvonne Carter and Mrs Gill Bailey launched then-


care agency. D u r i n g the action-


packed months since, they have worked round the clock and their reward has been to see a growth which neither could have dreamed of.


Their dedication has


been recognised not just by the company’s growth, but bv receipt of the El .TEC Extra ’!M Award in April and a place in the finals of Granada T V ’s ••Flying S ta r t ” p ro ­ gramme, one of 112 com­ panies whittled down from ISO in the North West.


But it goes without say­


ing that its main reward has been the immense satisfaction gained from helping hundreds of


clients. When Mrs Carter and


Mrs Bailey say “ We actually love coming to work,” they mean it. The atmosphere in the office at Wellgate reflects it and the smiles on the faces of their management team also bear witness to it.


Allcare Home Care


Agency is certainly a flag­ ship when it comes to proof that small businesses can work, do work and, in time, like acorns, grow into veritable rocks of the business community.


Mrs Carter and Mrs


Bailey were already good friends and had been


involved in extensive char­ ity work together in the Kibble Valley when the first seeds of Allcure were sown.


"We soon realised that we had a good rapport and


worked well together,” says Mrs Carter. “ My youngest son had started school and Gill’s son was already at school and we


decided we would try and work together. 1 had a background in nursing but, having a family of six children, had been out of nursing for 12 years. Gill's background was adminis­ trative and we were won-

career and. during those vitally formative years accept that it is a cost you have to live with.” says Mrs Carter. Returning to work after


having a family can be a stressful time and, at the back of your mind, will almost certainly be the question: “Are the chil­ dren safe and happy?” Choosing the most suitable form of childcare to fit in with your hours, budget and ch i ld ’ s needs is paramount. Nannies and mother’s


helps can be employed part-time as well as full­ time and on a temporary basis if necessary. F ill in the detailed


registration form and let Allcare Nannies match your needs to a nanny. Allcare charges a regis­


tration fee. then, after placements have been agreed, an arrangement


fee. Allcare Nannies will


draw up a shortlist for you, rela tive to your needs, whether you are looking for qualified and experienced nannies, newly-qualified nannies, unqualified experienced


nannies, nanny share,


p a r t - 1 i m e n a n n i e mother’s helps, maternity nannies, school holiday placements — even All­ care Aunties, more mature motherly figures, who may not have today's qualifica­ tions, but have years of practical experience.


The agency is aware of


the local colleges, such as Nelson and Colne College


and the Blackburn and Burnley Colleges, all of which train local would-be nannies to NNEB stan­ dard or the BTEC Nurs­ ing qualification. And, if there are any nannies in the Kibble Valley looking for work, then Allcare Nannies would love to hear from you, too.


Both Mrs Carter and


Mrs Bailev are working mothers. Mrs Carter, with six children whose ages


range from 15 years to six, knows belter than most the problems faced.


Call into the Wellgate


office and have a chat about your nanny needs. Who knows, your family's lifestyle could be about to undergo a remarkable revolution.


ENABLING Kibble Valley residents to retain their independence at home, despite advancing years, is a priority with Allcare Home Care


Agency. And, as far as care


agencies go, Allcare is cer­ tainly one of the best.


Care, commitment, enthusiasm and dedication


a r e t h e a g e n e v ’ s hallmarks. As a former nurse, joint


proprietor Mrs Yvonne Carter firmly believes that, in most instances, "the quality of life is often improved if clients stay in their own homes.”


Typical clients include


the‘elderly, disabled and convalescent. Support can be offered in many ways, including;


• A meals service —


the agency provides cli­ ents with meals cooked in their own home; a bonus for older people living alone who may not be eat­ ing properly.

bed service — clients are helped at the time they request in a discreet and caring manner.


• Bathing service —


Allcare has a special porta­ ble bathchair available for use in clients’ homes, ena­ bling people who have pre­ viously encountered prob­ lems getting in and out of the bath to overcome them safelv.


• Terminal care


carers have a good rela­ tionship with district nurses and Marie Curie Nurses. “ We are well known and people trust us,” says Mrs Carter.


• Night sleepers — thi


provides security and assistance, when required, through the night in the client's own home.


• Mother’s Help — the


agency can also offer help for mothers, when a new baby arrives, in the form of housework, ironing, caring for other children,


making meals and general support.


• Holiday R e l ie f


Allcare can arrange help, from a 10-minute pop-in visit, to a live-in house­ keeper, to give relatives peace of mind, enabling them to go on holiday. All of this entails qual


ity, personal service, from an in it ia l home v is it assessment by registered general nurses, Mr Carter or Miss Sarah Ward; close co-operation with client, family mem­ bers and liaison with stat­ utory services, including GI’s, district nurses and Social Services. “People are often fright


ened of losing their inde pendence by letting other people help. We build up trust,” says Mrs Bailey, emphasising that all the services offered are client led. The agency has private


clients as well as those helped by Social Sen-ices. Why struggle to retain independence? Give All­ care a ring on 0200 442056; the line is open 24 hours a day.

In the bath one evening,


she suddenly hit on the idea of a nursing agency. Never one to waste time, she rang Mrs Bailey there and then and the two made an appointment with Mrs Aileen Evans at Rib- ble Valley Enterprise Agency.


They car r i ed out


thorough research and the result was a home care agency launched in the knowledge that there was a need and an exception­ ally strong belief that it could work.


Mrs B a i le y ’ s spare


bedroom was the initial office and the company began on her birthday. In the first 12 months it grew from two to 45 carers and, in the second, from 45 to SO.


In November, Allcare


moved to premises in Wellgate, Ciitheroe, near


The Exchange Coffee Company and Garay’ s hairdressers.


With a major scheme of


refurbishment planned before the end of the year, both women, who cele­ brate their 40th birthdays this year, can have no bet­ ter present than the
