About Premier Care Support
Our Story
Premier Care came to life from our own struggles to find a suitable care following a life saving Pulmonary Endartectomy Surgery at world leading Papworth Hospital, in Cambridge in 2005, Chitra was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension due to a pulmonary embolism. Frequent hospital visits, blood tests, diagnostic tests, and multiple medicines were an intricate part of her life. Her heart was gradually giving up to sustain the pulmonary hypertension pressures thereby causing problems with simple breathing, speaking, walking, and doing other chores.
Fortunately, in 2008 she had a life-saving pulmonary endarterectomy surgery at Papworth Hospital, Cambridge. Her heart pressures were reduced to some normality giving her a new life. However, the post-hospital discharge journey was not pleasant as she struggled to find a suitable carer at home. She had to majorly rely on her husband, her brothers, and their families for immediate clinical and personal care. This led to low self-esteem, anxiety, and mental health issues with her basic routines.
As she started searching for carers locally, she was immediately struck by how difficult it was even to get hold of anyone and then to get them to understand her post-surgical caring needs.
This experience prompted her and her family to create the organization Premier Care Support– one that would not only support and care for people with mainstream diseases but also those with unconventional, life-threatening, and ongoing health conditions, who would need more intermittent care.
Chitra’s intensive recruitment and service management background coupled with her personal life experiences led her and her team to a greater understanding of the complexities of rare diseases and an awareness of the need for a more flexible and bespoke approach to care with passion.
And so Premier Care Support was born- supporting families across Buckinghamshire and surrounding London areas with unique and bespoke care options -catered to keeping them and their family members at the heart of the decision-making process, thus giving them more personal choice and control over their care and delivers true quality care to highest standards set by CQC.
