The size of your care team depends upon the size of your care package. Your care team must be small enough that you feel confident and familiar with the carers coming into your home, but it must also be big enough to ensure that your care needs can be met in all circumstances, for example if one of your regular carers is off on holiday or unwell.
It is not possible to say exactly how many carers you might see, that depends entirely on each care package. For example, if you had just one call a week for somebody to take you out shopping, then it is likely you would have the same person each time unless they had a holiday. However, if you required several calls each day starting in the morning and finishing at bedtime, then your care team would inevitably need to be bigger.
Regardless of your circumstances, every effort will be made to ensure you have as much continuity as possible so that you become comfortable and familiar with all your carers. We understand that it's a significant decision to allow carers into your home, and we want you to feel comfortable and secure throughout the process.
