A1 Home Care Ltd was established in June 2007 by Company Director Patrick O’Callaghan. 

Through his own personal experiences Patrick recognised the real need for good quality care in the community and set up a domiciliary care company with the aim of providing personal care and support to Service Users and their families.  He wanted to ensure that help and support was tailored to the individual needs of service users so that they could remain within their own homes. 

In November 2013 Nicky Cook took over the position of Registered Manager and with over 25 years’ experience working in the care industry dealing with elderly and vulnerable adults Nicky has also gained a Diploma in customer services and has worked with Patrick to build the business in to one of the most reputable and well-respected care companies in the Chelmsford area. 

There is of course, many other people who have helped to make the business successful including a professional and dedicated team of office staff.  There is a large team of qualified care staff who are passionate and committed to the job they do; delivering good quality care and support to our Service Users to help them maintain dignity, respect and independence. 

We are proud work alongside the NHS and with the local authority.

Our aim is to encourage our Service Users to put trust in us to provide the care that they need and to offer reassurance and support to their Families.
