You could help prepare some meals, take the client shopping, help with cleaning around the house, even take them out to visit a local garden centre, what ever they need on the day. We are the extra pair of hands they need to maintain their independence at home.
We offer a minimum of one hour visits to our clients, no “pop in” service, you will get to know your clients. We offer the same clients each week to help build that relationship. We do not provide personal care.
