About Care Givers
Care Givers provides support in people's own homes in Colchester and around Essex. We visit older adults and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic people, people with mental health needs, and people living with a physical disability. The reason most people ask us to come is that something has changed. An illness, a fall, a diagnosis, or simply the gradual arithmetic of getting older. Our job at that point is to work out the smallest useful amount of help, put it in place properly, and then keep looking at whether it is still right. Visits might involve personal care, prompting or giving medication, cooking, laundry, shopping, or support to get out of the house. Quite often the most valuable element is time spent talking, which is not filler and is not an afterthought. Isolation does real damage, and a regular visitor who knows you makes a measurable difference. We work hard on continuity, because being cared for by a rota of strangers is nobody's idea of dignity. Where we have to send somebody new, we brief them first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to talk about what support at home might involve, please contact us and we will go through it with you honestly.
