About Laniwyn Care Services
Laniwyn Care is a home care agency in Hitchin, supporting people in their own homes across this part of Hertfordshire. We work with older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability and younger adults. Home care works best when it fits into a life that already exists. We start by asking how the day usually runs, what has become hard, and what somebody can still do perfectly well and would rather keep doing. Support planned that way feels like help instead of intrusion, and it holds up better when circumstances change. Our visits cover personal care, medication support, meals, help around the house and getting out to appointments. For younger adults and people with a learning disability, the work is often about keeping ordinary life on track rather than about personal care at all. Continuity is where we concentrate our effort. A familiar carer who knows the house, the routine and the person is worth more than any amount of paperwork, particularly where dementia or autism is involved. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say so plainly than have you find it elsewhere. We know the areas that were identified, work is in hand, and we are willing to go through any of it with you. If you are considering us, please ring and ask directly what has changed.
