Helping you to grow your business...

Our vision for caring community is where older people, children, people with disabilities & mental illness are valued and respected.  We want them to have choice and control over their lives and when they want need help, we want our business partners to deliver it in an appropriate, flexible and supportive manner.

Long Term Care

The guiding principle for the provision of care is set out in the government white paper “Caring For People.” It states that anyone who needs health or social care due to problems with:

• Old Age                     • Mental illness            • Physical disability
• Learning disability     • Sensory disability

should be able to get care services and support suitable to their individual needs which will enable them to maintain independence whether at home or in residential accommodation.

Types of Care

Domiciliary Care (Care at Home)

This type of care would typically be seen as the option that allows you to maintain the maximum independence as it brings the services that you require to you at home. You can select the services that best suits you from Meals on Wheels and help with housework, to more specific help with other activities of daily living such as dressing or bathing, right up to specialist nursing help.

Respite and Day Care (Temporary Care)

It may be that you require a period of more intensive care away from home, possibly following an illness, or during your regular carers annual holiday. Respite care in a specialist nursing or residential home may be the ideal solution in these circumstances.

Many professionally run homes, usually in the independent sector across the UK, offer respite and day care options. You can use these services for an overnight stay up to and beyond a two week period.

Residential and Nursing Homes

With 95,000 people every year requiring long term care for the first time, residential or nursing homes with round the clock support from caring staff have become the choice of care for many.

The majority of UK homes have traditionally provided excellent care and conditions for residents.  With the advent of regulation and agreed minimum care standards which are implemented by The National Care Standards Commission, these homes can now demonstrate that they exceed a benchmark of care to prospective residents and their families.

Today therefore there is a wide variety of choice and variety of care homes to meet individual requirements.  Often people in residential care enjoy normal activities and continue to pursue those outside interests and hobbies that they enjoyed whilst living in their own home.
