Meet The Manager
Sara Castro is Founder at St Agatha Care (Home Care).
Sara's dedication to serving others has been a defining trait throughout her life. Drawing from her experience in recruitment and project management across diverse sectors, she possesses a remarkable capacity for empathy and a deep understanding of people’s distinct needs.
Sara believes that individuals thrive best when they can remain in the familiar surroundings of their homes, even amidst health challenges or aging. While she regards caregiving as a deeply personal and familial duty, she also recognises that professional carers can provide invaluable support without compromising family bonds. Sara's commitment to excellence is evident in her meticulous selection of carers for her clients.
Recognising the pivotal role of a supportive environment for carers, she firmly believes that the happiness of carers directly correlates with the well-being of those under their care.
St Agatha Care provides a personalised care recruitment service tailored to individuals seeking care in the comfort of their homes, extending across a broad spectrum of needs from companionship to complex care.
As part of our bespoke service, we introduce you to a self-employed care professional whom you can directly hire, granting you the autonomy to manage the support provided to yourself or your loved ones. Additionally, our introductory care services often result in more cost-effective solutions compared to managed care agencies.
What sets us apart - full admin support and exceptional carers:
To ensure peace of mind, we offer unwavering support throughout the procedural aspects of the care journey. We handle all the practical arrangements and daily administrative tasks associated with engaging a care professional, relieving you of the often overwhelming burden.
More importantly, the carers in our network are dependable and discreet, renowned for their exceptional qualities and values. As well as being fully insured, each one of them undergoes meticulous vetting, including comprehensive background checks, verification of self-employment status, validation of work/residency permits, thorough professional reference checks and confirmation of up-to-date qualifications.
We use a Home Care Manager system to improve the service and standard of care we offer.
