About LJ Sure Mercies
LJ Sure Mercies provides care at home for people in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding parts of Hertfordshire. We keep what we offer straightforward: reliable, respectful help in the place where somebody already lives, for as long or as short a time each day as they need. Most of our work is with older people. We help with washing and dressing, prompting and support with medication, meals and drinks, laundry, shopping and keeping the home comfortable. Just as importantly, we help people get out of the house, whether that is to an appointment, to the shops or simply for some air and a change of scene. We also support younger adults, arranging visits around work, study and family life rather than expecting somebody to plan their week around our rota. Because we are not a large agency, we can keep the same care workers going to the same households, and we think that matters more than almost anything else. Familiarity means somebody notices when things are not quite right, and it means the person being visited is not forever explaining themselves to a stranger. Care is arranged after a proper conversation with the person and, where they want it, their family, and we review it as needs change. If something is not working we would far rather hear it early. Please ring us if you would like to talk it through.
