Our Proud History
IT ALL BEGAN WITH ONE PERSON who dedicated herself to make a difference within the community in which she lived. This person was a Phd. student at the Royal College of Art and, as an artist, she devoted herself to use the classical principles of craftsmanship, where the craftsman created unique objects for the user, so the user could become bonded with the creation. As every craftsman asks the questions from time to time, so did she: from which materials, what artefacts, and for whom to create?
Her idea was to encase old and used textiles in hand-sized polymer tiles which were extracted from waste products. She proposed that material and meaning were closely connected. And so her assumption was that “the look, feel, touch and smell of the materials alert all the senses”. Therefore she chose as the user group the residents of Alexandra Care Home, who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
The importance of her unique crafts was not only serving the purpose of changing the “cold clinical” (CQC report) aspect of the care home into a homely environment, but to engage the residents in the process of change throughout a series of workshops where they could create their own polymer tiles in which they could preserve their personal memories.
Preserving memories.
Besides the fragments of memories which come back to life in the form of polymer tiles, her main focus was the recreation of a homely environment, within which the elderly is listened, is heard, participating, interacts, and sees the objects which trigger emotions from the past.
Violet Care Agency Ltd. fully credits Julie Behseta for her ideas and aligns with her belief that homely environments are essential for the elderly. The agency is committed to promoting the concept of deep tacit knowledge through a series of workshops, welcoming both carers and elders to embark on their own journey of reminiscence.
Our Mission and Vision

I feel like I have been so well supported by the Agency. They have given me focused training according to my continued professional needs enabling me to feel confident and happy at work.
I am so happy with my carer she has been with me for 2 years and has become a part of our family. I don’t know what id do without her.
My dad had many carers from other Agencies but the Violet carer made him really happy.
The carers Rodney Pukree, Ethel Nleya, Issaka Mahmoud & Monalisa Mpande were absolutely oustanding whilst she was admitted in hospital, and they cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for John and made sure that he ate well. They are fantastic & I would like to thank them very much.
Joe is splendid and does a wonderful job. We hope that things will go on well just as they have began.
It is such a treat to have Millicent around, especially for the last 3 days. Don’t mind admitting I was scared aout the radiation treatment I was heading for, but a few kind and gentle words from millicent helped to put my fears at rest. To see the smiley face and cheerful manner puts things in their proper perspective, so thanks again Millicent.
Bassey assists and helps with anything I may need him to do – i.e. if I am out of milk he goes to the local shop and brings it back for me. Thank you Bassey for all you do for me. A VERY SPECIAL CARER!
Bassey keeps an eye on food etc. Nothing is too much. Always cheerful. Always something interesting to say. He’s good and kind; makes me feel normal.
What good care she has been receiving from the girls that come to her everyday (Lilian, Moji & Ebele) and I am happy and very grateful for them.
I am really happy with the Violet carers, they have been really, really good to me. I am happy with Lillian, Harriette and Rose. I really don’t know what I would do without them!
I really want to shout out Elizabeth Ali, it is nice to have an internal support from the back office. She is very nice, she kept checking in on me when I was trying to move from where I stay to my new residence, though it took time but she would call me now and then.
Godwinna has been a lovely and caring helper – a pleasure to know.
Carers are superb and very caring. Ana is very thorough and always very pleasant.
Thank you Call Monitoring & Kofi Amoah, for the support and guidance throughout my mother’s incident last week Friday, which led her going to hospital early, of which if she did not her stroke would have been worse than what it is.
Millicent – a very pretty name for a very pretty lady – who goes above and beyond in her dedication to care, including stepping in at the last moment when there is an emergency. Millie brightens my day, makes me feel happy and secure – there should be more Millies in this world.
I don’t know how long Millicent has been my carer but she never fails to amaze me with her care, kindness, capability and understanding. With all Millicent’s help I now feel truly blessed. I’m happy, the family is happy, so thank you Millicent.
To my lovely carer Millicent – she is so lovely and caring, looks after me so well. I don’t know what I would do without her. I look forward to seeing her every morning. Please don’t take her away from me! Thank you.
I continue to be delighted with Millicent and her care for me. What with the scrambled egg breakfasts, tackling my leg compression wraps and so much more, all done with gentle care, and now a lesson on how to get music on my tablet. What a girl!
Millicent is very good [and] Princess is also brilliant. [They are] very patient with me!
Every day I get my arm massaged in a wonderful way! She has changed my life. Always welcoming and friendly and anything I need is never any trouble.

My brother and I are very pleased with the care and attention they have given my mother (June) over the weeks. Both girls are always happy and smiley when they come and visit my mother. We would give them 10/10 for their work and their kindness to June.

It has been absolutely fantastic having the team coming to me and ever since we started it has been wonderful.
