An already leading provider of home care

Cross Care was started by two former colleagues, Katie & Ruth, between them they had 20 plus years experience in the Health and Social care sector, working in various settings including, day centres, hospitals, care homes and domiciliary. Katie and Ruth seen first hand the challenges the care sector in the UK was facing, so combining their skills and experience they formed the home care service provider ‘Cross Care’ and in September 2019 were awarded CQC registration and CIW registration the following September this then allowed Cross Care to operate in both England and Wales.

"I have worked for many care companies including charitable organisations and found such a poor standard of care. This is not something I would ever wish for, for my loved ones and wanted to make a change."

"I had dealt with really poor care services for my dad whilst he was in a home. I found there was a lack of person centred care, and what he was receiving was unacceptable in my eyes. This led to me having to safeguard him. With this in mind and the previous care companies I had worked for, I wanted to make a change to the care industry for the better and so decided to set my own up."
