About The Local Care
The Local Care provides care at home in Fleetwood and the surrounding part of Lancashire. We support people living with dementia, adults with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, people living with an eating disorder, and people in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse. Some of that work is more specialised than home care is often assumed to be. Supporting somebody with an eating disorder means understanding that mealtimes can be the hardest part of the day, and that the support around them has to be calm, consistent and free of pressure or judgement. Supporting somebody in recovery means being steady through difficult stretches rather than treating a setback as a failure. In both cases staff are prepared for that work specifically, because good intentions on their own are not enough and can cause harm. The wider job is the familiar substance of home care, and it stands or falls on reliability. Visits that happen when they were promised. The same person at the door. Medication handled correctly. Privacy respected during personal care. Records that tell the truth. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are considering support at home in this area, ring us and we will give you an honest view of whether we can help.
