Providing you with support
As a fully regulated service, we place importance on helping you in all areas of your life. Whether you opt for visiting care or live-in care, our dedicated care team can accompany you to social gatherings, either to simply transport you there or to assist you for the duration.
As well as providing practical and personal support to you at home, your personal assistant can also help you to engage in your interests and normal routines, such as:
- Going out for meals
- Meeting friends and family members
- Going to church
- Exercise classes
- Attending social clubs
- Visiting relatives
- Trips to the theatre
- Attending events
Carer assisted travel
The ability to travel is what keeps us connected to one another.
Our personal care assistants can help you get out and about, either by using your own car or on public transport. Being able to leave the house with confidence means you’ll be able to maintain as much normality and independence as possible, supporting you to continue living life on your own terms.
For many of our service users, being able to get out and about makes a massive difference to their physical and mental well-being.
Here are some of the benefits of having a travelling companion:
- Visiting your favourite spots: With carer assisted travel, you don’t have to stop visiting your favourite cafés, restaurants and day trip destinations
- Navigating public transport: Using public transport and getting to grips with timetables becomes really straightforward when you have someone alongside you to help out
- Exploring new locations: Your personal assistant can drive or accompany you anywhere you like, including exploring new spots that you might not otherwise be able to visit
- Seeing friends and family: Travelling with a carer suddenly gives you the ability to visit and spend time with loved ones with greater flexibility and without concern
- Maintaining your routines: For a lot of people, an independent lifestyle means being able to maintain as many of the same routines as possible, such as doing the weekly shop
- A friendly face alongside you: Having a friendly, reliable companion alongside you wherever you go can be a great source of comfort and reassurance

The benefits of opting for home care
Support from a carer in your home offers a number of short and long-term benefits.
Care at home is becoming an increasingly popular way to receive additional day-to-day support when it’s needed, rather than moving to a residential care home. Some of the benefits of care at home are:
- Provide you with much-needed rest: Having an assistant take care of all the tiring, time-consuming errands and housework can allow you to focus on your own well-being or rehabilitation
- Remain in a familiar environment: Unlike moving to residential care, being supported at home lets you continue living in the familiar, comfortable surroundings of your own home

We know that having an assistant who you get on really well with can make all the difference to your day.
