![]() Kiain McKeanOwner/ DirectorKiain McKean is Director of Radfield Home Care Herefordshire & South Shropshire. He has dedicated his working life to the UK care sector for no less than 26 years, starting his career in care at the age of just 16, where he had a part-time job as a home carer, whilst studying at college full-time completing a social care course. Due to Kiain’s Grandmother receiving poor quality care in her own home he wanted to have his own business to showcase a high quality care service he knew was possible, enabling people to be treated in the way in which he had hoped for his Grandmother. It is his belief and passion that we should treat and look after those we care for, in the same way that we wish to be looked after ourselves. ![]() Sharon DugmoreCare ManagerWe would like to introduce you to Sharon Dugmore, Care Manager for the Radfield Home Care Herefordshire & South Shropshire office.
