About 2 Crab Lane
2 Crab Lane provides support to adults in their own homes in Biggleswade and the surrounding part of Bedfordshire. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. We come to you, and that is the point of home care. Our work has to fit the household it enters rather than asking the household to rearrange itself. Depending on what is needed, a visit might cover help with washing and dressing, prompting or giving medicines, cooking a meal and seeing that it is eaten, laundry and tidying, shopping, or support to get out to appointments and to see people. Some people want company as much as practical help, and we treat that as a legitimate reason for us to be there. Before anything starts we agree a plan with you, and with your family if that is what you want, covering how you like things done, what you would rather manage yourself, what a difficult day looks like and who we should ring if we are worried. We revisit it when your circumstances change rather than leaving it as first written. For anybody living with dementia, familiarity does a lot of the work, so we send the same care workers wherever we can and keep visits to a recognisable shape. Where somebody has a physical disability, we agree together how they want to be helped.
