THINGS are looking bright for Select Medicare as it has expanded into larger premises.
The firm, established in 1999, is now based at new offices at Tavern House, Station Road, Ardleigh.
Select Medicare has acquired the entire building and new facilities include a large training room, separate accounts office, a downstairs interview room and a number of offices for care co-ordinators and managers.
The training room is well-equipped and enables the company to provide a continuous training programme to its support workers to enable them to progress in the caring profession.
Select Medicare also has the facilities to enable people with disabilities to visit as it has a downstairs quiet room.
Select Medicare provides domiciliary care to vulnerable people in the community and also to supported housing projects and residential and nursing homes.
It is looking to recruit support workers due to the volume of work it has received and provides induction training to all support workers prior to them starting work.
It regularly supervises home carers.
Select Medicare's utmost aim is to provide people in the community with an excellent service.
Select Medicare has been awarded business awards for customer service in Colchester and the county.

THERE is lots of good news on developments in Thurrock for local people to be very positive about. Being positive in anycase is very good for community well being. We have plans apace in Grays for a new local college and a new community hospital together with the Royal Opera workshops in Purfleet. The new Gateway Academy will benefit the children of families in important areas of Thurrock like Tilbury and Chadwell St Mary. I for one am very pleased with my new local church on Chafford Hundred. I have also been very impressed with local West Thurrock councillor Andy Smith and his Labour councillor colleagues taking to proactive leadership in their ward via street surgeries. By being out there talking to everyone, councillor Smith and his colleagues are getting the views and opinions of all the people, not just the regular few worthies.
AFTER complaints by the campaigners regarding the comments mentioned in last week’s Gazette and the uproar outside the State Cinema last Saturday morning, Councillor Barry Palmer has apologised to “Save the State” campaigners.
