Social Value at River of Care Ltd
At River of Care Ltd, we believe home care is more than just support—it’s about creating opportunities, building strong communities, and enriching lives. As a dedicated home care and supported living provider in Birmingham and the West Midlands, we go beyond care by investing in our people, empowering those we support, and making a lasting impact in our community.
Investing in People & Careers
We are committed to developing the next generation of care professionals by offering opportunities for both local and international applicants. We partner with local job centers, training providers, and businesses like Helping Hands Cafe to support career growth and community involvement. We provide our international recruits with the option to take free English lessons to help them thrive in their roles.
We encourage our service users to engage with the community by visiting libraries, community groups, leisure centers, and mental health support groups, as well as enjoying meals out. Our holistic care approach supports the personal growth and well-being of both our staff and the people we serve.
These efforts reflect our social value by fostering inclusion, empowering individuals, and strengthening local communities through meaningful connections, support, and development opportunities.
Strengthening Our Local Community
We are committed to supporting both our carers and the people we serve by actively engaging with the wider community.
- Connecting Our Team with Local Opportunities – We keep our carers informed about local community events, training programs, and career-building resources. For example, we share information about local workshops, online learning courses, and networking events to help them grow professionally and personally.
- Community Engagement for Service Users – We encourage our service users to get involved in the local community by attending events, joining support groups, and exploring new activities. Whether it’s visiting local libraries, participating in wellness programs, or enjoying a day out, we create opportunities for meaningful engagement and personal growth.
By staying connected to the local community, we create a supportive network for both our carers and service users, ensuring everyone has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
Enhancing Well-being Through Foot Care
Many of our clients have told us how much they value our specialist foot care services—a simple yet meaningful way to enhance comfort, dignity, and relaxation.
- Boosts Well-being – Clients say they feel calm, refreshed, and respected after foot care, improving their day or night significantly.
- A Personal Touch – Washing, cleaning, and moisturising feet isn’t just about hygiene—it’s about dignity and quality of life, something often overlooked in traditional home care.
This is why we strongly believe in the power of foot care—because small details make a big difference.
