We are not a Care Agency
Encall is deliberately not a care agency. Personal care and anything clinical belong with regulated providers, and our Helpers are trained to say so and to help you find one when the need goes beyond company and practical help.
That honesty is the safest thing about us. Every Helper knows exactly where the line is, every family knows exactly what they are booking, and nothing on the platform can cross it, because the services that would simply are not there to book.
Written into the Client terms, the Helper agreement, every booking confirmation, and the training every Helper must pass. The same words, at every layer.
