We’re careful to match carers with the right skills and experience to the people we support, and aim to connect people who’ll get along well. Your carers will work alongside the wider health and social care team to ensure continuity and consistency.
Dementia
Taking care of someone living with dementia can be challenging. It can affect people in different ways, so it’s important to have skilled carers who understand the condition and know how to treat people with respect and dignity at all times. We can provide practical support and help with mental and physical stimulation, while monitoring your loved one’s condition.
Stroke
You or your loved one may need short- or long-term care after being discharged from hospital. The symptoms following a stroke can be mild or severe, and the first few months of recovery are crucial. We can provide help around the house, support with shopping, meal prep and taking medication, and help recovering mobility and managing ongoing symptoms.
Parkinson's disease
As Parkinson’s progresses, people may find walking and talking increasingly difficult. Problems with balance and coordination can also make it impossible to complete household tasks. We can provide practical support such as administering medication, keeping the house tidy and free of trip hazards, and help getting washed and dressed.
Difficulty swallowing
Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, can be caused by a number of different conditions. The type of dysphagia you or your loved one has will affect how we can help you manage it. Some dysphagia can improve with dietary changes or therapy, but if feeding tubes are required we can help with both PEG and nasogastric tubes.
Motor neurone disease
We understand the practical and emotional challenges that living with motor neurone disease can bring. Our carers can be there from morning till night to provide personal care, help with housework, to administer medication, and help with meal prep. We aim to keep people living with motor neurone disease as comfortable as possible when they’re at home.
Multiple sclerosis
We work with you or your loved one’s wider care team to help navigate the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis. We understand how important it is to be able to live a meaningful life, so we strive to help people continue with their hobbies and offer companionship as well as support with mobility, feeding, medication and other personal care.
Spinal cord injuries
The severity of a spinal cord injury can vary, but one thing that benefits everyone living with one is having a great support network. We can help with practical challenges, such as mobility and feeding, and provide emotional support for you and your loved one. We offer double-handed care if you need an extra pair of hands to keep your loved one safe.
Brain injuries
There are a number of conditions that can lead to a brain injury, and our team can be there to offer help and support in the early days, following an accident or diagnosis, or long-term. Whether your loved one is suffering cognitive or physical challenges, we do everything we can to make sure people feel respected and listened to throughout our visits.
Muscular dystrophy
Our team has extensive experience of supporting people with muscular dystrophy. Unlike many care providers, we work with people of all ages, so we understand the emotional challenges that younger people living with muscular dystrophy can face. We’ll be there to support you and your family every step of the way, just let us know how we can help.
Huntington’s disease
We can help people living with Huntington’s disease to stay safe at home and to manage their symptoms. We can also come along on trips and appointments to provide a shoulder to lean on and a sympathetic ear. Let us take care of everyday tasks and chores, so you can enjoy more time together as a family, safe in the knowledge a clinical expert is nearby.
