Covid-19 tragedy inspires man to launch care home company 

A new home care business has launched in the Carnforth area.

Faisal Saleem has set up SureCare Morecambe, based in Yealand Conyers, which is able to offer a full range of regulated and non-regulated care services to people across the surrounding area. 

The company recently secured its registration with the Care Quality Commission.

Before deciding to set up a home care business, Faisal worked in management roles in the agricultural sector.

He was motivated to move into the care sector after losing both of his parents to Covid-19 within ten days of each other.

Faisal said: “What happened during the pandemic to me and to many other people was life changing. It made me want to set up my own business in the home care sector and provide vital services to people living in the community.

“While I had plenty of experience managing teams and problem solving, I didn’t have a background in the home care sector.

“Becoming part of the SureCare family meant that I had an established brand behind me and all the support that I needed to get going including with the process of gaining our Care Quality Commission registration.

“Now that we have the registration, we can provide people locally with a full range of home care services.

“I have lived in Morecambe for the last seven years and there is a great sense of community in the town as well as a need for compassionate, high quality person-centred care.”

Faisal has appointed Nicky Ghuman as SureCare Morecambe’s Registered Manager.

Gary Farrer, Managing Director of SureCare, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Faisal on board as our franchisee.

“We were impressed with his passion to deliver home care services of the highest quality to people in his area.”

SureCare is one of the UK’s fastest growing care companies with branches and franchises around the UK.

The company is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and has three decades of experience in the personal care sector
