Kare Plan is a family-owned company that prides itself on great communication between care and office staff members.
Our Receptionist, Client Care Coordinator, Client Care Managers, HR, and Recruitment staff are always here to help, ensuring our carers feel comfortable knowing we're available to answer any questions or concerns they may have.
We organize ongoing activities throughout the year for all staff to participate, fostering a stronger bond among work colleagues.
To motivate our employees, we encourage carer development, as we do internal hiring for roles like Rapid Responder and office opportunities.
We provide state-of-the-art training with tools like our Age Simulation Suit, which helps gain further insight into how clients might feel when performing daily tasks, such as making a cup of tea or getting ready in the morning.
We also have a Geriatric Patient Care Manikin, which aids learning patient care skills like pad changes and patient moving and handling.
Our training covers a wide range of topics, including Stoma and Catheter Care, Dementia and Alzheimer's Care, Patient Moving and Handling, and Infection Prevention Control.
With this training, we ensure all our carers are fully confident and comfortable providing the best possible care to our clients.
At Kare Plan, our mission is to provide the best training and support possible for all staff, so our clients feel we're more than just a home care company – we're one big family who cares.
