Background

Operationally 247 Professional Health currently offers a quality care service supplying Nurses, Care Assistants, Support Workers, Domiciliary Care Assistants, Companions and Domestics. These members of staff assist the elderly and people of all ages who may have a learning disability or mental health issue. This care may be provided within a Care Home, a Learning Disability Partnership or a Mental Health Establishment. Also many individual clients requiring special needs assistance prefer to remain as secure as possible in the comfort of their own homes.

Report on the healthcare sector 2008: Development of the Domiciliary Care Market
“With the growth in UK population and our increasing life spans, the UK has an ever increasing number of older people.

Report on the healthcare sector 2008: “The market today is enormous, estimated to be worth £12-£17 billion per annum! There are now around 4,500 independent operators in the UK with Social Services currently purchasing 70 per cent of their community based care from these new independent sector operators”

Report on the healthcare sector 2008: “The benefits of franchising this type of business are numerous, but for clients, a franchised care operator such as 247 Professional Health can ensure a far greater standard of care delivery than a large corporate provider. The owner of a good solid professional care franchise can build a hugely profitable business, but equally, will reap far greater rewards from knowing that often vulnerable clients are receiving the very best care in their own homes as a result of his/her business”

To summarise: 247 Professional Health supplies staff of all descriptions to care homes; rest homes; nursing homes; EMI care homes (dementia); hospitals; learning disability centres; mental health centres and to the client’s own home…
