Help with the practical side of staying well at home: taking medicines on time, getting to appointments, and keeping the GP and pharmacy up to date when something changes.
What this includes.
Every care plan is agreed with you, so you choose which of these you need, and when.
- Reminders and help with medicines, as set out in the care plan
- Collecting prescriptions
- Getting to and from appointments
- Keeping in touch with the GP, pharmacist and district nurses
- Help settling back at home after a stay in hospital
- Day-to-day support for people living with long-term conditions
Good to know. We provide personal care, not nursing. Clinical care, such as dressing wounds, comes from your GP or the district nursing team, and we work alongside them.
How care starts.
Four steps, and the first one is a phone call.
Talk to us
Call or email and tell us who the care is for. You don't need every answer yet.
We visit and assess
We come to the home, meet the person, and find out what a good day looks like for them.
Agree the plan
Together we choose the visits and the help, and write them into a care plan.
Care starts
Carers arrive when agreed, and we review the plan as needs change.
Other ways we help.
