Crossroads Care Coventry & Warwickshire

Crossroads Care, Coventry & Warwickshire (CCW), established in Rugby in 1974, is a registered Charity (1057024) and a Company limited by guarantee (3206963) and is also registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Coventry & Warwickshire Social Services. Originally formed as three separate regional Crossroads schemes, the Coventry, Rugby and Warwick offices were amalgamated in 2005 and we are now the leading provider of homecare services throughout Coventry and Warwickshire.

Crossroads CCW is committed to providing high quality personalised caregiving services, meeting both the needs of home carers and the people they care for. As a charity all of our resources are used to provide services and to train staff, ensuring that we meet your needs in the way that you decide. CCW supports carers of adults and children with disabilities, mental health problems or people who are elderly and frail. We only employ trained home care support staff with the skills to help and support both the home carer and those they care for, enabling people to remain living in their own homes for as long and as independently as possible.

As a registered charity we can provide some services free of charge but this is limited according to the funds we are able to raise. Our home care services can be purchased through direct payments, personalised budgets, self funding or through services commissioned by Social Services or the local Primary Care Trust.

Our Local Mission Statement

"Crossroads Care, Coventry & Warwickshire's mission is to support home carers by direct help and to customise our services to the individual needs of our service users. We will offer a homecare service which empowers and enriches the quality of life and independence of both the home carer and the person they care for"

Crossroads Care Charitable Objective

"To relieve the stresses experienced by home carers and children and adults who have care needs as a result of a disability, illness or age, by offering a respite care service through the provision of community-based care support workers."

Management of Crossroads

The Crossroads Care charity is managed by a board of volunteer trustees who give their valuable time and energy to ensure that the organisation is well managed and continues to meet its statutory obligations. Many of our trustees are, or have been carers and users of our home care services and bring with them a wealth of knowledge on carers' issues and many other skills from their working lives.

The organisation is managed by a Chief Executive who has been with the charity for over 17 years. Each office also has an experienced registered manager whose responsibility is to deliver quality home care services to our carers, those they care for and to people with care needs who live alone. They are supported at each office by a team of local co-ordinators and administration staff to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the home care services.

The care support worker (our front-line staff) is what Crossroads Care is all about - well trained, dedicated and carefully recruited the support workers are Crossroads biggest asset. Providing efficient, caring and supportive caregiving services to all users, whether they have care needs or are home carers themselves. Our objective is always to provide a professional, friendly service to aid independence and improve the quality of life to all those who require care and support in their own homes.
