About Us

'Here at Care in Wales Ltd we have a vision, and mission statement whereby we aim for all people receiving social care to enjoy their lives. We therefore not only provide 'care' where it is needed but also, as much as possible, to liberate people from the consequences of their difficulties'

Care in the Vale is a branch of Care in Wales Ltd that provides care in the home to adults in the Vale of glamorgan. This includes Barry, Penarth, Llandough, Sully, Dinas Powys and surrounding villages.

At Care in the Vale we believe care agencies should not only understand the reasons why people need care (illness or old age, perhaps) but also the life experiences that make each person unique, interesting and valuable.

We should not hide behind uniforms or concepts such as 'professional distance' but be real people with a close interest in others. We should be driven not so much by 'professionalism' but by our sense of 'shared humanity' i.e what one human being does for another.

Our goal is to leave people happier at the end of our visits than when we arrived. Happier because they have been well looked after by people who care for them and are interested in them.

It is all about people!
