About Wealden community Care
Wealden Community Care provides support at home for people in Heathfield and across this part of East Sussex. We visit older people, including many living with dementia, as well as younger adults and people with a learning disability or autism, helping them to carry on living in the homes they know. We start with a proper conversation rather than a form. What does your day usually look like, which bits have become difficult, and what would you rather manage without anybody stepping in? Our plan comes from your answers, and we revisit it as things change in either direction. If somebody has regained confidence and needs less from us, we would rather say so than keep visits running out of habit. Visits can cover personal care, help with medication, cooking a meal, housework and shopping, support to get out and about, or simply company and conversation. We are a local team covering a rural area, which means we understand the practical realities of getting to people here and we plan accordingly. Keeping the same carers visiting the same people is something we protect, because familiarity does more good than almost anything else we can offer. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We regard it as the standard we are expected to hold and we keep asking families whether we are getting it right. If you would like to talk about care at home in this area, please ring us and we will explain the options honestly.
