HOME CARE
Family carers are not always local and therefore our service can help relieve some of the anxiety and stress within the family.
Generally, we cannot relieve the total pressure altogether but some of the worry is most certainly removed. Obviously this doesn’t take the place of friendly and loving family visits but our help does give peace of mind during the periods of absence or when relatives do live some distance away.
Your needs may vary from light support and home help to more intensive needs such as personal care, night care, dementia care or full time live in care. Those requirements could be the result of an accident or illness, recovery from an operation or hospital visit, or simply to help you enjoy a better quality of life. Our home care and Live in care service promotes independent living and can be a great alternative to residential care homes and nursing care.
