WHAT IS MANAGED CARE?

There are a number of differences between a managed care service and an introductory agency. Below explores the main differences:

  • take over the burden of being an employer – for example, payroll, training, disciplinary issues and insurance are all covered by us
  • all carers have been through training of a national qualification and service-specific specialist training
  • cover for carers and a replacement of workers when they are ill, on holiday or resign
  • put things right when they go wrong
