Here at Care Alternatives we offer you the support you need to make the right decisions and choices for your life. We do this by giving you straightforward and timely access to relevant information, advice, services and equipment.

Growing older and remaining in your own home can be difficult. Should you become frail or have a condition that restricts what you can do; you may need the kind of help that can be provided by a care agency, either on a live-in or visiting basis.

Whether this is in the short-term, such as during a period of convalescence, or in the long-term, we can engage an agency on your behalf and make sure that you receive exactly the kind of support you need. This could include personal care such as bathing and dressing, and housekeeping tasks, such as shopping and food preparation.

A good care agency will provide:

• Well trained staff that are permanently employed
• Continuity in the staff assigned to your care
• Constant awareness of issues of privacy and dignity
• Regular assessment of your needs
• Readily available client satisfaction data
• Evidence of registration with the Commission for Social Care Inspection, which sets standards for vetting, training and monitoring staff
