About Sister Dorothy
We are Sister Dorothy, and we provide care in people's own homes across Rochford and the surrounding parts of Essex. We support older people, including many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our aim is straightforward: enough of the right help, at the right times, for somebody to carry on living in their own home. Home holds a great deal that is easy to undervalue until it is at risk. Your own routine, your own kitchen, the neighbours who notice when the curtains stay shut, the right to decide the shape of your own day. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to do for yourself, and where would a hand actually help? From those answers we agree the visits, which might be a single short call, several a day, or a longer stretch so that a family carer gets a proper break. We revise the plan as needs move. Support might mean help with washing and dressing, a prompt and a check with medication, a meal cooked and eaten with company, help getting safely about, or assistance with shopping and appointments. We keep carers consistent wherever the rota allows. We have not yet had an overall rating published by the Care Quality Commission. We prefer to say that plainly, and we welcome any question about how we work.
