Through a blend of in-home technology and quality care Connected Health Plus have this week begun deliveringunique Support services for people who wish to continue living independently in their own home. During the grand opening it was announced that 100 new homecare, training and support posts are to be created in the Sefton areaduring 2019; with the company holding a vision to open an additional 30 homecare businesses, generating thousands of career opportunities through their ConnectedAcademy, over the next 5 years.
Leading the business are Tim Jones and Amy McEvoy who are backed by Connected Health Group who themselvescelebrated their 6th year of continuous success in both Northern and Republic of Ireland.
The event was attended by Liverpool FC legend Mark Lawrenson who has seen first-hand the difference quality care in the home can have for a loved one; along with former Everton footballer Gareth Farrelly who has suffered a life-threatening aneurysm. Farrelly’s recovery took nine months and included daily home visits from local district nurses and community care workers.
Tim Jones, Managing Director of Connected Health Plus, said: “This business is a dream come true for me. We hold protected values that ensure our services are amongst the best. The journey will be exciting for our team and we werevery grateful to welcome Mark, Gareth and so many other people who are dedicated to improve the physical and mental well-being of the vulnerable adults who live in our community today. They, like me, believe everyone has the right to live independently in the place they feel the most happy and familiar – at home.
Our approach is unique as we connect the latest leading technology with care and support services that meets our Clients desired needs and outcomes; whilst concurrently delivering seamless updates and transparent communication to the people important to the Client so they are given peace of mind and reassurance that “mum” is safe. This reduces anxiety and enables them to better concentrate on their own careers and families”.
Operations Manager, Amy McEvoy added “I’m passionate about ensuring my Clients receive the highest levels of care; and that their families are communicated with openly and effectively. This belief was heightened further after my Dad received poor care. The impact on my family and I was negative. Around that time, I became Care Manager of a separate homecare business that went on to become the first provider in the UK to achieve an “Outstanding” rating from the Care Quality Commission. I am proud as such an accolade is incredibly rare.
My vision is to help transform how homecare is delivered through effective technology and partnership working with the likes of Connected Health, Elemental Social Prescribing and Tesco; to give our time and effort back to the people in our community.
Damien Moore, MP for Southport, who sits on the Governments Science and Technology Committee provided the following message: “To see such an authentic passion for promoting independence and well-being is vital for our society. Organisations such as Connected Health Plus are enabling vulnerable people to live better in the place they are most happy – at home and within the community. What is so impressive, and intriguing, is their ability to connect innovation and care. They operate a digital platform that links the Client with those most important to them, so that they receive transparent and real-time reassurance that their loved ones are safe”.
