About LIM Independent Living and Community Care Services
We provide care at home to older people in Thornton Heath and across Croydon, supporting them with the everyday things that have become difficult. We have kept our focus narrow and would rather say so plainly than present ourselves as able to do everything. Supporting older people well asks for a specific kind of patience, and we would rather be genuinely good at that than adequate across a much wider range. Our help covers washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and keeping a household running, together with the company that a regular caller brings. We aim it at what has genuinely become hard and leave alone what somebody would rather keep managing themselves, because taking over is the quickest way to reduce what a person can do. For some of the people we visit ours is the only knock at the door that day, and we do not treat the conversation as the part to trim when the round is running late. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We ask the people we visit how we are doing and act on the small critical answers rather than the kind general ones.
