With a combined experience of over 25 years in the healthcare sector, our executive team offers a variety of expertise including specialist community nursing, dementia, long term conditions, care of the elderly, rehabilitation, and end of life care.
We are committed to providing high-quality domiciliary care services from long-term care to support with everyday living. Our comprehensive services are individually tailored to ensure that our clients are empowered to make the right choices regarding their care plan and to maximise their independence within the comfort of their own home. All clients receive an initial assessment by a qualified nurse and care plans are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Quality Assurance
Our commitment to our clients, their families, and our colleagues is simple: at Farrell Healthcare our purpose and our promise is to provide a consistently high standard of care to ensure quality health outcomes for our service users according to their individual needs, while ensuring their privacy, safeguarding against discrimination, and maintaining confidentiality at all times in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
Our commitment to quality is achieved through our ‘Five C’s’ approach:
- Compassion: we forge lasting relationships with our service users by demonstrating equality, respect, and empathy at all times: our clients are at the very heart of what we do

We actively promote partnership working across the health economy by working alongside primary and acute healthcare providers in order to deliver accessible and integrated services.
