Dementia Care

Sometimes it seems beyond reason.
We know how frustrating it can be when reason goes out the door, especially when you are not trained to deal with it.

The emotional strain, of dealing with someone not always rational, can be quite daunting. Professional carers are trained with people, who may have bouts of dementia, in a loving and caring manner.

Apart from basic tasks, are you looking for somebody who will take care of your health as well?

People who are convalescing or those suffering from a serious disease who need a well-qualified carer who will become their friend at the same time, will probably choose this type of home care.

You are probably looking for a service to suit you in a professional and affordable manner.

One-off Care

Would you prefer care on a one-off basis? Maybe it's just night at the opera, the bingo or just some company, we are happy to be there for you.

Overnight Home Care

Night time can have its own demands!
Is it overnight care what you need, so that you can sleep in peace, knowing that all is safe and well?

Maybe you can afford the time to spend all day caring for someone you love. You also need your sleep and we know how draining it can be if you are on duty all night as well!

You can stay with your family member for the whole day but than you need to come back home and spend quality time with your own family as well.

Overnight Care

Monitor client during the night
