Astor has gained a favourable reputation since it was established in 1990 for the high standards of care and nursing given by carefully selected staff to clients in their own homes (homecare), nursing and residential homes, hospitals, day centres, learning disability homes, rehabilitation units and many other organisations needing help in an emergency.

All our staff are carefully selected professional, local people who are trained, fully referenced and undergo security screening as part of a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) Enhanced Disclosure application. The recruitment and checking process for both Care Assistants and Registered Nurses fully meets the standards required by CQC (Care Quality Commission) who have rated our service overall as ‘Excellent’.

The Agency is committed to providing and maintaining a quality service at competitive rates. Our office is staffed by Registered Nurses or Qualified Health Care Assistants who co-operate fully with General Practitioners, Community Nurses, Social Services and other bodies as appropriate.

Personal service, confidentiality, advice and help all form part of the Agency’s approach to total quality care over a twenty-four hour period, 365 days of the year.
