Meet the team

My name is Charlene, and I am the proud founder and owner of Compassionate Home Care (CHC). With over 20 years of experience in the healthcare sector, my journey has been shaped by a deep passion for delivering person-centered care and making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

I began my career as a care assistant in local residential homes, where I earned my NVQ Level 2 and 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care. My dedication to professional development led me to the University of the West of England, where I graduated with a Honours degree in Mental Health Nursing.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide range of healthcare settings—including psychiatric hospitals, recovery homes, and specialist community services. My work has involved supporting individuals with both basic and complex needs, and it was through these experiences that I developed a particular passion for working with people living with dementia.

The idea for Compassionate Home Care was born from a growing awareness of a gap in transitional care services. I saw firsthand how many individuals could benefit from the opportunity to leave hospital settings and continue their recovery at home—surrounded by the comfort and familiarity of their own environment. CHC was established to provide that option: high-quality, tailored care delivered with compassion, consistency, and dignity.

My name is Sinéad, and I've worked in the care sector for over 10 years. Throughout my career, I've supported children, adults, and older people with a wide range of needs, and I've always been passionate about making a positive difference in people's lives.

Most of my experience has been working in mental health services and supporting children and adults with learning disabilities. These roles have taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and building trusting relationships with the people I support. 

I now work as a Care Coordinator at Compassionate Home Care, where I coordinate staff, help develop care plans and risk assessments and recruitment. 

I enjoy being able to combine my hands on care experience! 

For me, care has never just been a job it's something I genuinely care about. I take pride in treating every person with kindness and respect,
