Staying happy, healthy and independent

As we get older, we often need a little more help and support but busy lives, work and commitments mean that families can’t always provide it. That’s where the Staying Home Service comes in. We are committed to helping people remain safe, healthy and happy at home for longer. We do this by offering a variety of services, tailored to individual needs that help our customers remain independent, stay in control of their lives and enjoy a better quality of life.

Our success stories Mrs B aged 85

Mr T aged 86

We arranged for mobility aids around the home and a referral to Careline. This Careline pendant was essential a week later in raising the alarm following a fall.

A visit from the Staying Home Team resulted in a series of repairs, a new cooker and washing machine and the appointment of a regular cleaner.

Mr R aged 67 A weekly cleaning service, telephone befriending and internet course, helped raise mood and self-esteem. We’ve also helped Mr R access a creative writing course.
