Personalised support to help you stay independent in your own home. Help includes cleaning and housework, shopping (escorted and non-escorted), companionship, planning and preparation of light meals, support with attending appointments, organising household paperwork and regular respite for carers.
At Age UK Devon, we understand that as we get older some household tasks can be a challenge. Older people have told us that companionship, conversation and pursuing hobbies are important to their quality of life.
Our chargeable Enabling and Home Support Service aims to meet these needs to enable you to make the most of later life and stay independent in your own home. We will endeavour to match you to a Support Assistant who shares your interests or outlook, so that you find it easier to get along. Whenever possible, you will be visited by the same person, to build trust and provide reassurance.
Our regular weekly service includes:
• Companionship and pampering
• Enabling support attending appointments or activities
• Shopping (escorted/unescorted)
• Organising household paperwork
• Time off for carers
• Planning and preparation of light meals
• Light cleaning and housework
• Help with basic pet care
