There are four broad categories of services:
1. Personal Care (e.g. help with getting up in the morning and going to be at night)
2. Home help (e.g. help with household duties, grocery shopping, collecting prescriptions and benefits)
3. Companionship for you and respite for Carers who are looking after a loved one with care needs.
4. Other - call us and we can talk about what you need as an individual.  We are all different and can all need help with many different things.  We will be sure before we agree to help you that what we do is within our skills set and also within our regsitration with the Care Quality Commission.  One example is that we are happy to offer a bespoke recruitment service - in that we will work with you to recruit the right person who you click with based on shared interests and background, and who you want to work with.  We can also help with recruiting a Personal Assistant.

Our services have re-ablement at their core, in that we will not seek to make you dependent on our care workers but to work with you and equip you with the skills and confidence to remain as independent and active as you wish

Elderly and other vulnerable adults who wish to remain independent and active in their own homes

We are approved by the Care Quality Commission.  We are a member of the United Kingdom Homecare Association and abide by their Code of Practice.  All our staff have enhanced CRB checks and at least two professional references.  We select our staff very carefully as our ethos is that 'every action matters' - everything staff do with you matters, how they do it should be with care and thought.  All staff undergo a comprehensive induction and ongoing training and supervision.  Our company values are integrity (doing what we say we will do), respect (nor assuming we know what you want or what you are thinking) and love (love is not just a feeling, it is what you do - to and with others and your community).  Our company Directors all have a background in working in the voluntary sector, particularly at MIND The Mental Health Charity and our Registered Manager is a Registered Nurse.
