A Question for Leaders Home carers Domiciliary care organisations Care Managers Fuel is going up due to the IranAmerica War!

Are councils prepared to act now to protect the workforce that sustains community care or will they wait until staff leave, services collapse, and vulnerable people are left without support?

Because by the time the system visibly fails, it will already be too late.

We Cannot Afford to “Wait and See”

A “wait and see” approach is no longer acceptable. The impact of rising fuel prices is already here and it is being felt daily by home care workers who are quietly carrying the burden.

Every day of delay means:
• More carers struggling financially
• More providers under pressure
• More risk to continuity and quality of care

Local authorities and decision-makers must recognise that this is not a future problem it is a current crisis.

What Needs to Happen Now
Immediate, practical action is required:
• Urgent review of care contract rates to reflect real fuel costs
• Increased and realistic mileage allowances for care workers
• Emergency financial support for care providers
• Direct support or incentives to retain frontline staff

At 1 Diamond Home Care, we are proud to recognise the dedication and compassion of our amazing care team.

Today we would like to give special appreciation to Lindsay, who recently went the extra mile to make a meaningful difference to one of the people we support. Lindsay helped arrange a comfortable chair that has brought so much happiness and comfort to the individual.

Small acts of kindness like this can make a huge difference in someone’s day, and it truly reflects the caring values we strive for every day.

Thank you, Lindsay, for your kindness, professionalism, and commitment to providing person-centred care. We are proud to have you as part of our team.

Calling all Managers — let’s talk about assessments.

Do you charge for assessments? If yes, how much do you charge? If not, what are your reasons for offering them at no cost?
Assessments take professional time, expertise, and careful planning yet practices vary widely across services. It would be great to hear how others are approaching this and who typically covers the cost in your experience.
Who do you believe should pay for assessments — the provider, the client, the local authority, or another route?
I’ve shared a short video with my thoughts on this topic and would really value your perspective. Let’s learn from each other please share your approach in the comments.

Lovely feedback for our team today 💎

The nurse who visited A this morning asked which company myself and Jen work for. When we said 1 Diamond Home Care, she smiled and said, “You really are diamonds. The care you’ve given A has been amazing and you’re a credit to your company.”

We asked if she could share that feedback with management, and she said she would. (She’s a Sheffield-based nurse, not the district nurse.)

It’s carers like these who make what I do at 1 Diamond Home Care worth it—no matter the challenges.

Well done ladies 👏🏽 and a big thank you to the Management and Coordination team too… and not forgetting the gentleman!

Amazing 💎 💎 Staff

All Registered Managers in care homes read this:

I’m not sure if this sounds familiar, but many registered managers we speak to tell us they’re often:
Covering shifts themselves because of sickness or last-minute gaps
Working extra hours and feeling constantly “on call”
Dreading the phone ringing (because it usually means another staffing emergency)
Cancelling family time—birthdays, dinners, plans—then feeling like they’ve let everyone down
Even finding themselves making excuses to avoid going in because they’re exhausted

If any of this resonates, I’d really like to understand what’s hardest for you right now so we can help in a way that actually reduces pressure.
A few quick questions

What are your biggest staffing pain points at the moment—nurses, carers, nights, weekends, or last-minute sickness?
How often do you get same-day or short-notice gaps that need urgent cover?
When you use agency staff, what typically goes wrong (e.g., late arrivals, cancellations, poor fit, compliance paperwork, continuity of care)?
What would “reliable support” look like to you—speed, consistency, familiar faces, quality, cost control, or something else?
Are there certain shifts you end up covering personally most often?

💭 Let’s Talk About Fairness…

Here’s something to think about 👇

When you get older or develop care needs, the first thing that happens before you can get support is a financial assessment.
💼 They check your savings, pension, even your home and you might be asked to pay for your own care.

Now here’s the twist -
When someone commits a crime and is sent to prison, no financial assessment is done.
🏛️ The government (that’s you and me, through taxes!) pays for their accommodation, food, healthcare, and everything else while they serve their sentence.

So here’s our question for you people

👉 Is that fair?
Should someone who’s worked hard and paid taxes all their life have to sell their home to fund their care — while someone who’s broken the law gets fully funded support? After time in prison they come out with a nest from benefits .

We’d love to hear your thoughts! 👇
