About The Company
Choice Care was founded in 1999 by husband and wife, Andrew and Fiona Key. With more than 25 years’ experience in the health and social care sector, Andrew and Fiona combined their background in nursing with a passion for delivering high-quality home care services in Blackburn that bridge the gap between traditional home care and nursing.
Whether it’s working directly with private clients and their families or in partnership with social services, Clinical Commissioning Groups, solicitors and health professionals, we strive to provide the best possible care and support for some of the most vulnerable people in our community, tailoring our care services to meet their unique needs.
We work closely with organisations such as East Lancashire Hospice, the Stroke Association, Dementia UK, Parkinson’s UK and the MS Society to share resources and make sure our staff are up to date on the latest skills and training. Our team of dedicated carers are all vetted and trained to gain the qualifications they need to help them carve out a long-term career in care.
Company Culture
Liberty Private Care was founded by husband and wife team, Andrew and Fiona Key. Together, they have more than 50 years’ nursing and care experience and have worked in the NHS, for care agencies, residential care and nursing homes, and ran a successful homecare company in north-west England.
We provide care that bridges the gap between traditional home care and nursing. We’ve proactively worked with local and national bodies to improve care standards through innovation and training.
Andrew worked closely with these organisations to help create and define the ‘Six Steps End of Life Accreditation’ for community care agencies, and Liberty Private Care earned this accreditation from the Countess Mountbatten Hospice in Southampton.
We love nothing more than seeing the enthusiasm and dedication of a carer turn into a satisfying, lifelong career, whether they’ve come from a background in care or start out with no hands-on experience but an open heart and mind.
