Mrs Phyl Crowther and Mrs Jean

Both know their business, inside out. ,
Phyl, jo in t propr ietor of Abbeydale Care Home, Whalley, and proprietor of the Cottage Rest Home, Clitheroe, has run h er home care service for two years and the Cottage Rest Home for six years, but has extensive nursing experience.

having worked as a nursing sister in the community for more than 20 years.
Jeanette has gained practical qualifi

F o r th re e years she has been run ning h e r own HomeCare business, based in Mellor, and she has already won the loyalty of many customers and their relatives due to her thorough and careful approach. Abbeydale HomeCare is not, both
arc quick to point out, an agency. Phyl and Jeanette are employing personally- vetted and trained staff and place great emphasis on on-going training through NVQs. Both women already employ staff through their previous businesses and
hasten to add that with their new ven ture there will be no changes either to staff or customers. They pride themselves on a personal
service and, says Jeanette, “that is how we get a lot of our work.” They make a point of meeting new
customers and assessing them. “We are very in te re s ted in tra in in g for c a re rs and we will both be closely
involved in th a t , along with Mrs Valerie Chandler, also a Registered General Nurse,” added Phyl. As employers, the. proprietors feel it
is their duty to ensure their staff are fully trained in all aspects of care in the home, particularly with regard to deal ing with different people, lifting and handling.

The days when neighbours used to pop in for a chat and a cup of tea and gen erally keej) an eye on things are, sadly disappearing. Many of those neigh bours now have full-time jobs and com mitments and, although they still care, do not always have the time. We can

residents in the Mcllor a re a o f th e Kibble Valley — and many beyond. Locally born and brought up, Mrs
Taylor has over 17 years’ experience in a professional car ing role dealing

to a lady suffering from the after-ef fects of a s tro k e , who, on leaving hospital was told there was not much chance for her. She was ready to be discharged from hospital into a nursing home. She put her foot down and said she wanted to return to her own home and try to pick up the pieces. A care package was tailored for her,
initially for 24-hour care, seven days a week. •
The same lady, with help from the [
physiotherapy department at Clitheroe Hospital, now manages through the night on h er own, knowing she has a telephone lifeline in case of emer gency, and has a c arer through the day. The custom er is happy to be
