Why You Might Need Our Services
We deliver home help services to a range of people in many different circumstances. We don’t offer personal care, but we will often deliver our services alongside other service providers who do deliver care. For example, we might take care of the cleaning, laundry and shopping, whilst another provider delivers the personal care.
The vast majority of times we’re delivering services to people who do not currently need personal care. It might be that due to age or a health condition you can’t do all of the things you used to be able to do. That’s where our services can step in.
Sometimes we are called upon to help people who are convalescing after an operation or a serious illness. It might be that you’re just not able to do the domestic tasks you used to be able to. It might be that you only need that extra help for a short while. These are all good reasons to get in touch with us to see how we can help.
