What does it do?We can provide personal, practical and social care to our clients in their own home environment on a one to one basis. Our services are designed, primarily, for the elderly who are physically frail or housebound and support is undertaken by our team of trained and experienced staff.
We specialise in supporting individuals in the community, enabling them to live as independently as possible through the provision of personal and practical care delivered by trained home carers.
We work mainly with older people, helping them to remain independent within their own home environment, providing these services to both private clients and those referred to us by Social Services and the Primary Care Trust, under contract arrangements.
A personal Care Plan will be agreed with the service user, family or advocates and may include the following basic tasks, which offers support with:-
- Bathing
- Dressing
- Mobility and Transfers
- Meal Preparation
- Continence Care
- Cleaning & Shopping
- Escort to Appointments

- Assisting with the administration of prescribed medication
