Home support

Need a helping hand? Home Support can help.

We provide support and companionship in the home, helping with housework, shopping, pension collection, cooking, respite for carers etc.

A regular weekly Home Support service, with the same carer visiting each week.

Our Home Support service offers:

• Weekly one-to-one companionship support
• From 1.5 hours per week
• We can sit / stay with housebound clients for up to 4 hours
• Many of our staff are trained in the safe use of wheelchairs, enabling us to assist clients who are less mobile.

The same carer visits every week, so you can build up a trusted and friendly relationship with them.
