We aim to assist vulnerable people, of all ages, to live independently within their own homes wherever possible.
Our staff are committed to the
management and provision of a flexible, responsive, seamless, high
quality Care at Home service, taking full account of user and carer
needs.
Who is the service for?
We help people who:
- are leaving residential care or hospital and need help when
they get back home;
- need short-term help until they are 'back on their feet' and
doing the things they did before an illness or a stay in hospital
admission; or
- are in danger of being admitted into hospital, residential or
nursing care
We can provide care for:
- adults with dementia (for example, people who show signs of
memory loss and confusion);
- adults with a number of different disabilities;
- adults with mental health problems; and
- people leaving hospital who need some help with everyday tasks
such as washing-up and taking medicine
What care can we provide?
Help with everyday tasks such as:
- assistance with personal tasks i.e. washing, dressing,
toileting and personal hygiene, prompting medication
- assistance with meal/snack preparation
- help with shopping and laundry
- collecting prescriptions, pensions and paying bills
- help with light domestic tasks and
- help and advice with claiming the benefits you are entitled
to
There are some things that we cannot do, such as:
- the kind of jobs that nurses would normally do, like changing
your bandages or feeding you through a tube; or
- using dangerous cleaning substances such as ammonia or
bleach
- not climbing on anything to reach high surfaces
