We endeavor to provide your service at times that are convenient for you. We know how important continuity is and will identify care and support workers who we are sure have the skills and knowledge to meet your needs. Whilst it is not always possible to guarantee 100% continuity due to holidays and other staff absence we will always strive to deliver a service that you can rely on with care and support workers you are familiar and comfortable with.
Your service will be coordinated by a dedicated team who are contactable 24 hours a day.
Carers aren’t limited to JUST providing help at home. They can drive you to a doctor’s or hospital appointment, take you shopping or take you on an outing.
All these services are complementary to each other, or they can be used separately depending upon the needs of the individual. We constantly monitor the service and try to be as flexible and responsive as possible to the changing needs of our clients.
