- Change Contracts will be extended with framework providers for an additional 12 month period until 2nd September 2023. This applies to all current providers: Affinity Homecare (Cheshire) Ltd AMG Consultancy Services Aceso Services Ltd Carers Trust 4 All Choice Support Eden Care Services Evolving Care Limited Homecare 4 U Ltd In Safe Hands Infinite Care Kare Plus Cheshire Special People North Spiritual Inspiration Teasdale Healthcare The Human Support Group Acacia Homecare Care needs Ltd Care Mark Clarity Homecare Ltd Happy Valley Home care limited H.

The crisis has been exacerbated by a number of factors including a reduced pool of potential employees, burn out of long term staff resulting in high numbers of people leaving the care sector, other sectors being able to offer more competitive salaries, staff working in the sector feeling under valued.
