CRC Care Ltd

What CRC Care Ltd does

CRC Care Ltd is a private, founder-owned home care services provider headquartered in Renfrew, Scotland (United Kingdom), operating since its founding in May 2013 by Catherine Longwe, RGN. The company delivers person-centered care to elderly individuals and people with complex care needs in their own homes across the Renfrewshire and West Dunbartonshire council areas, with a stated vision to expand services nationwide across the rest of the UK. Its service portfolio comprises six core delivery formats — Hourly Visits, Sitter Service, Daily Care, Live-in Care, Overnight Care, and Respite Care — supplemented by Medication Assistance, Personal Care, and specialized Complex Care services for conditions such as acquired brain injury, neurological conditions, spinal injuries, and physical disabilities.

The company's underlying technology stack is minimal: no proprietary platform, API, or app is disclosed, and its digital footprint is limited to a WordPress-based website, social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and a listing on homecare.co.uk. Core technology dependencies are therefore operational rather than technical — workforce scheduling, Care Inspectorate compliance reporting, and Care Inspectorate-regulated record-keeping with monthly quality assurance reviews conducted at clients' homes.

The business model is recurring-subscription home care delivery on a quote-based pricing structure billed monthly. Customers access services either directly (via website enquiry or phone, followed by clinical assessment) or via referrals from two named council partners — Renfrewshire Council and West Dunbartonshire Council — which act as channel partners. Revenue is generated entirely from service fees; no funding rounds, institutional investors, or parent company are disclosed. The company is regulated by the Care Inspectorate (registration CS2013319689) and the Scottish Social Services Council, holds Cyber Essentials Plus certification, is a Living Wage Employer accredited by the Living Wage Foundation, and has staff trained as Dementia Friends through the Alzheimer's Society.
