About Care Shield Services
Care Shield supports people in their own homes in Stanmore and the surrounding parts of Harrow. We work with older people and younger adults, with people living with dementia or mental ill health, with people who have sight or hearing loss, and with adults who have a learning disability or are autistic. Every household needs something different, so we start with a conversation rather than a package. We ask how somebody wants their day to run, what has become difficult and what they would still rather manage themselves, and agree support around that. It might be a call first thing for washing, dressing and breakfast, several visits across the day, help with medication, support to get out to appointments, or a longer visit that gives a family carer a genuine rest. This part of London is home to many communities and we ask rather than assume about language, food, prayer and routine, matching staff with that in mind where it matters to somebody. Where dementia or a sensory impairment is part of the picture, our carers are expected to slow down and communicate in the way that suits the person in front of them. We keep the same staff with the same households wherever the rota allows. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
