A CARE company helping people to live at home in later life has launched in Worcester.

Avant Healthcare Services Worcester, part of the wider Avant brand, has opened in Sansome Walk in the city.

The firm will be providing care and support to enable people across the Malvern Hills, Wye Valley and in the city who are wanting to live in their own homes for as long as they wish to.

The Worcester branch is being run by experienced care sector operations manager Kelly Coombes, who said: "The team and I are very much looking forward to providing professional care and support services to people across the Worcester area; although a new name in Worcester we benefit from over 17 years’ experience from the team at head office, which we know will give our customers great comfort and reassurance."

Avant Healthcare Services Worcester recently passed its Care Quality Commission review, confirming it is fit and suitably staffed to deliver the services offered.

The new manager said: "The team and I are very much looking forward to providing professional care and support services to people across the Worcester area; although a new name we benefit from over 17 years’ experience from the team at head office, which we know will give our customers great comfort and reassurance.

"We are delighted to have passed our CQC review recently and going forwards we will be providing a wide range of services to families and individuals of all ages across our region, from companionship visits on a weekly basis to full-time 24/7 care if required.

"Whatever our customer’s needs, we can provide the care and support necessary to help them.

"This is an exciting time for everyone; we have a huge amount of experience in the sector and will be delivering a professional, caring service to our customers across the region."

New staff are being recruited by the firm, with training provided.
