We've listed a few examples of the sort of scenarios that we help people with regularly:
Light Housework
The first stage of care might be someone needing a bit of help around the house and some companionship for a few hours a week.
Daily Care
If you or your loved one is struggling to remember to take medication and cook meals then a carer visiting two to three times a day can help manage the situation.
24 Hour Care
If you or your loved one are requiring more intensive care and are no longer safe when left alone then a live-in carer can be much more cost-effective than a care home and allow you to remain in the home you love.
