About Lakem Care Cumbria
We provide care at home in Carlisle and across the surrounding parts of Cumberland. We support older people, younger adults, people living with dementia or mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people affected by sight or hearing loss. Covering a county like this one means planning carefully. Distances between calls are longer than in a city and the weather can make a difficult round harder still, so we are honest at the outset about which areas we can cover reliably. We would rather say no to a request than accept it and let somebody down halfway through a winter. Support ranges from a short morning visit covering washing, dressing and medicines through to several calls a day taking in meals, mobility, housework, shopping and appointments. For many of the people we visit, particularly those living alone in quieter spots, the company matters nearly as much as the practical help. We keep a small, familiar team around each person. Continuity is what allows a carer to notice that somebody is eating less, moving more stiffly or seeming low, and passing that on early often prevents a much bigger problem. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. If you are looking at support for yourself or a relative, please ring us and we will tell you straight what we can cover in your area.
