Individualised Services
We offer this service to promote independence, giving a person more control over their own decison making, personal organisation and planning to make the best use of their time and opportunities.
Our experienced staff members help individuals plan in a way which is sensitive to their needs and preferences, whilst respecting their families, other professionals involved in the care and with an awareness of any further relevant input.
Most importantly, we involve the person in all decisions with regards to their own support, recognising they have right to a voice – one that we will be listening to.
Respite and Short Breaks
A breakaway from the daily routine can make a real difference in boosting confidence, moral and a general sense of wellbeing.
We can support individuals and their families to make the most of time spent away from the usual routine, experiencing new places and opportunities away from home.
Our services are flexible and can be tailored to offer families and carers a great amount of choice – enabling them to take a break from their caring role, or have someone along with them to share the care, ensuring everyone involved has a more positive experience.
We can offer shared services on breaks and holidays where two or more of our users holiday together, helping keep the costs down and providing company along the way. In these instances, we would carefully assess the needs and preferences of all involved to ensure a good match.
We are flexible in helping our clients find the best solution all round to meet their needs and experience the positive benefits to health and wellbeing that getting away can provide.
Domestic Services
Our staff deliver excellent value domestic cleaning services to our clients. Combined with their experience as Support Workers, they keep the individual’s needs in mind and make the whole process more person-centred.
Our services include all aspect of cleaning, changing beds, clothes laundry and ironing. Each package is created to suit a client’s requirements and delivered reliably, efficiently and with good cheer.
