About Care Purbeck
Care Purbeck provides care and support in people's own homes across Swanage and the surrounding part of Dorset. We work with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, and people living with physical disabilities. This is a rural and rather spread out patch, and that shapes how we work. Distances between calls are real, and a carer running late is a genuine difficulty for somebody waiting to be helped out of bed. We plan our rotas around that and would rather cover a smaller area properly than a wider one badly. The support runs from short prompting calls to several longer visits a day covering personal care, medication, meals, household tasks, getting out and company. For a number of the people we visit, particularly those living alone, the carer is the main person they see all day, and we treat that as part of the job rather than as an extra. For people living with dementia we rely on familiarity above all: the same carer, at the same time, in a home the person already understands. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about support in Purbeck.
