Care doesn’t end with daily tasks. We all need genuine connections with others to live our fullest lives, and we believe our clients’ emotional health is just as important as their physical health. Our person-centered approach to care prioritizes our relationships with our clients, offering friendship as much as daily support. We take care to assign our clients the perfect carers so that our service users feel comfortable and valued for who they are as people.
is it for me?
Our care and companionship package can include services such as:
Assistance with taking medications
A hand with light housekeeping
Going out for a walk or a coffee
Having a tea and a chat at the dining table
A friendly, familiar visitor for a regular check-in
However, we recognize that our clients are unique individuals with rich inner lives and histories. We always tailor our services and care plans to our clients’ needs, and aim to accommodate their particular needs and interests.
How does it work?
We want your loved one to feel as if they have gained a friend rather than a carer, and we put relationship-building at the heart of any care package. Given this, we recommend that half-day packages be a minimum of three-hours per week in order for mutual understanding and compassion to be able to develop naturally.
When and how often the carer pops by to lend a hand is, of course, up to the person being cared for. If it is support in getting ready in the morning that’s needed, then we can be there bright and early to whip up breakfast, help with bathing or prepare more generally for the day ahead. If it’s more medical-focused care that’s in order, your matched carer can be on hand to administer medicine, help with mobility and ensure comfort and ease. If your loved one’s needs are greater our expert carers can, of course, be on hand 24 hours a day. We understand each individual’s situation is unique, so get in touch to see what level of care might be right for your family.
