We could see from the level of management in the organisation, clear records of assessment and care and from speaking to people using and working for the agency that a highly personal and professional service was being offered.

Eden Country Care Ltd was established by Erica Tarney in 2002 to provide the local people of Appleby and the surrounding districts with a high quality, flexible, friendly and local care service. In response to demand for our service from private individuals and from the local social services department we now provide home care in Apppleby, Penrith, Shap and Keswick including the surrounding villages.

What makes Eden Country Care Ltd different to other care providers?

We are a family business with members of our family working as carers in the local community, as well as in the administration and management teams. The business was set up to provide a high quality, flexible home care service based locally and employing the best local staff. The close involvement of the family in the business allows us to monitor closely the care our service users recieve. Good communication on a daily basis and a sharing of values amongst family members and the staff enables us to promote a high quality service and provide a supportive working environment for our staff. The high standards of care expected from our staff are made clear right form our inital induction training through to staff meetings and appraisals.
