We believe most people are happiest in the familiar surroundings of their own home
and because everyone is an individual we strive to select someone who compliments their interests and way of living to the best of our ability

About The Scheme

Those requiring care are generally the aged or infirm who find themselves in the unfortunate situation of no longer being able to live completely independently.
For a variety of reasons they prefer to continue living in the home they have often lived in throughout a large part of their lives, to be amidst friends and family, but without wanting to become a burden to those they are closest to.

With understanding between those requiring care and the caregiver, we've found there is an unparalleled level of assurance and comfort for those sharing their home with someone new, and initially unfamiliar.
Each placement typically lasts for a week or fortnight, often ending with handing over to a new caregiver before returning home, also giving you the opportunity to share any changes or notes of importance.

Those we offer support to come from a wide variety of backgrounds and need varying degrees of care. Some require little more than companionship and the feeling of security brought about by the reassurance of having someone to live with them.
Others may require help with personal hygiene, have difficulty walking unaided or may be incontinent or confused
