About Calmliving Healthcare
Calmliving Healthcare provides care at home to people in Dorchester and the surrounding parts of Dorset. We work with older people and people living with dementia, with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment, and with younger adults who need support to live independently. Home is where most people want to stay, and our job is to make that possible for as long as it sensibly can be. A visit might mean help with washing, dressing and medication, preparing meals, keeping the house and laundry in order, or a hand to get out to the shops, the surgery or a friend. For many of the people we visit, particularly those living alone in villages, the company matters as much as the practical help. Covering a rural patch means being realistic about travel, so we plan rounds carefully, arrive when we said we would and telephone if we are held up. We also work to send the same carers to the same households, because familiarity is what allows somebody to notice a person is quieter than usual, eating less or less steady on their feet. Care is planned with the person and their family, written plainly and reviewed as needs change. The Care Quality Commission has not yet issued an overall rating for us. We are registered with them and work to their standards. Please ring us to talk about support at home.
