Our full range of services include everything from companionship services to shopping. You may need some or all of the services listed below. We will carry out a full assessment of your needs to ensure that you receive the right care at the right time!
Services start from £15.00 per hour with a minimum visit time set at 30 minutes (charged at 50% of the hourly rate). If your care needs require the management of a registered nurse we will work closely with the community medical team.
Below you will find some examples of common needs which we provide for.
