Meet The Manager
Treena is Registered Manager at Shire Homecare Services.
Treena has worked in the care industry for over 45 years and has a wide range of experience from large Nursing Homes to domiciliary start-ups. Treena, like most Registered Managers, has worked her way up through the ranks over this period. She has been a Care Assistant, Senior Care Assistant, Care Coordinator and Deputy Manager, before becoming a Registered Manager some 25 years ago. Treena spent several years troubleshooting for some of the country's biggest care providers, turning failing branches around in a relatively short space of time. Her passion and love for the industry shine through in all that she does and is completely dedicated to providing all who use Shire the best service possible.
At Shire Homecare, we pride ourselves on providing a professional and consultative approach to homecare, ensuring attention to detail that is often overlooked elsewhere. With over 45 years of experience in the care industry, our expertise shines through in every aspect of our service, making us a trusted name for compassionate care.
Our philosophy and principles are at the heart of all we do. We believe in accurate representation and understanding the unique needs of each individual we support. Our dedicated Homecare team is comprised of skilled Care Workers and our team continues to grow to meet the ever-increasing demand for quality care at home.
We value the importance of prompt support, and in most cases, we can begin providing care within 24 hours of the initial assessment. As one of the leading providers in our geographical area, we have achieved this status by offering a reliable and transparent service that our clients can trust.
However, our success is not solely measured by our position in the market. What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to delivering quality care to all those we support. With over 2,000 hours of care delivered each week, we take immense pride in upholding the core values that led to the inception of Shire Homecare.
Our passion for making a positive impact on the lives of those in need remains as strong as it was when we first started. We are dedicated to empowering lives through compassionate care, and this commitment drives us to exceed expectations and make a meaningful difference in the lives of our clients and their families.
As we continue to grow and evolve, we cherish the trust our clients place in us and vow to maintain the same core values that have been the foundation of our success. Shire Homecare is a name synonymous with reliable, compassionate, and quality homecare, and we look forward to continuing our mission of providing exceptional care for years to come.
