Home Care Service Provision

24 hours home care provision is available Borough-wide and supports frail, elderly and younger adults with disabilities and also their main carers. Assistance is given in the person's own home with intimate personal care tasks such as washing, dressing and toileting, the taking of medication and also domestic tasks, following an assessment of the person's needs by a social worker.

This assistance enables the person to remain in their own home with the home care staff encouraging and motivating them to reach and maintain their highest level of independence, according to their individual needs and abilities.

Consideration is given to each person's ethnic, cultural and individual needs together with respect for their dignity, privacy and confidentiality.

Our objective is to enable service users to remain at home, supported by skilled, trained staff who motivate and encourage each person to reach and maintain their highest level of independence possible, according to their individual needs and abilities.
