Supporting Well At Home

The aim of our Care at Home service is to assist vulnerable people, of all ages, to live independently within their own homes wherever possible.  Our staff are committed to the management and provision of a flexible, responsive, seamless, high quality Care at Home service, taking full account of service user and carer needs.

We help people with dementia who:

• Need short-term help until they are ‘back on their feet’ and doing the things they did before a stay in hospital; or
• At risk of being admitted into hospital, residential or nursing care; or
• Leaving residential care or hospital and need help when they get back home

We can help with everyday tasks such as:

• Assistance with personal tasks i.e. washing, dressing, shaving, oral hygiene,  continence and personal hygiene,
• Assistance with meal/snack preparation
• Assistance with medication (on completion of medication assessment)
• Collecting prescriptions where there is no assistance from others available
• Continence laundry
