How to Arrange Private Care in Workington
Simple, supportive steps to getting the right help at home
Arranging care for yourself or a loved one can feel overwhelming, especially if it’s the first time. At Eden Country Care, we’ve supported hundreds of families through the process, and we’re here to make it as clear, kind, and straightforward as possible.
This guide explains what to expect when arranging private care in Workington, what kind of help is available, and how we support you every step of the way.
Step 1: Get in Touch for an Informal Chat
It starts with a conversation. You can call or email us to talk about what kind of support you’re looking for. Whether it’s a few hours a week or more regular help, we’ll listen without pressure or obligation.

Step 2: We Visit You at Home
If care feels like the right step, our registered manager, Colette Russell, will visit you and your family at home. This is a chance to talk through;
-
Your daily routines
-
What you like help with
-
Health concerns or medical needs
-
Any preferences about times or carers
-
How often would you like support
This is called a care needs assessment, and it forms the basis of your personalised care plan.
Step 3: We Create a Personalised Care Plan
Based on what you tell us, we create a plan that’s completely tailored to you. It might include:
-
Help with washing, dressing, or meals
-
Medication support
-
Companionship or trips out
-
Support after a hospital stay
-
Dementia or mobility care
All of our services are flexible, and you can change or pause them at any time.
Step 4: Meet Your Local Care Team
Before care begins, we’ll introduce you to the Workington care team. We believe in building genuine relationships, so we’ll aim to provide continuity with familiar faces wherever possible.
Our carers all live locally, are fully trained, and understand how important trust, respect, and reliability are.
Step 5: Ongoing Support and Communication
Once care is in place, we stay in regular contact to make sure everything is working well. If your needs change, we’ll adjust your care plan and liaise with local health professionals to get extra help if needed.
You’ll always know who to speak to, and you’ll never be left to figure things out on your own.
