SureCare has proudly become one of the leading domiciliary care providers throughout England over the last 30 years. Now with newly registered franchise operators in Scotland, we’re pleased to see our services reaching more communities than ever before.

We recently welcomed our first franchisees in Scotland to join our growing network of home care providers. SureCare Ayrshire and SureCare Glasgow launched in late 2023 with the aim of reaching people in their local communities.

Husband-and-wife duo Moses and Anie Okpala lead the way at SureCare Ayrshire, while sisters-in-law Sammira and Sumaira Iqbal head up operations at SureCare Glasgow. Our franchisees at both of these businesses have shown real determination to get up and running, and start providing services straight away.

However, one of the biggest hurdles for new care providers is the requirement to attain registration with the national care regulatory body. We’re delighted to see that both our Ayrshire and Glasgow franchisees have now cleared this rigorous process and achieved their registrations with the Care Inspectorate. This now allows them to begin delivering quality care services in their respective areas.

Care Registration

Like all providers in the social care sector, it is mandatory for SureCare franchisees to be registered with the national regulator before they can carry out any personal care services. For our franchise operators in England, this is the Care Quality Commission, and we’ve supported many franchisees in the past with the intensive registration process.

As social care is a devolved matter, Scotland uses a different national regulatory body to England. Scotland’s Care Inspectorate functions in a very similar way to the CQC, but there are also some key areas where processes and guidance differ.

It is important that we at SureCare’s Head Office provide a high level of franchising support to guide our new franchisees through the Care Inspectorate’s registration process. This means that we can help them to develop the tools and skills required for operating a successful business in quality home care.

To facilitate this further, we have also welcomed Ross McNeil to the SureCare team as our dedicated Business Development Manager for Scotland. Ross’ background includes working with various care providers in Scotland, and he brings with him a wealth of knowledge and previous experience in dealing with matters relating to the Care Inspectorate and their procedures.

Future Expansion

Thanks to the dedication of Moses, Anie, Sammira and Sumaira, as well as their respective care teams in Ayrshire and Glasgow, we’re delighted to see SureCare’s unique range of home care services now operating in Scotland for the first time! But it certainly doesn’t end there.

We are already engaged with new prospective franchisees to begin operating their own SureCare businesses in other areas of Scotland. Through this, we’ll see our quality care services being able to reach more people in more communities in the future, with our new Dumfries & Galloway franchisee currently in the early stages.

With the support of Ross and the wider SureCare Head Office team behind them, we’re looking forward to welcoming more new franchisees aiming to enhance the lives of people throughout Scotland with quality care services.
