Help with the everyday things that have become harder to manage alone. Our carers help with washing, dressing and the start and end of the day, gently and respectfully, so you feel clean, comfortable and like yourself.
What this includes.
Every care plan is agreed with you, so you choose which of these you need, and when.
- Bathing, showering and washing
- Dressing and undressing, and choosing what to wear
- Moving safely around the home, including in and out of bed or a chair
- Toileting and continence care, given discreetly
- Cleaning teeth and caring for dentures
- Hair care and everyday skin care
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.
