About Westmorland Homecare - & Morecambe

Westmorland Homecare in Lancaster and Morecambe supports people in their own homes across this part of Lancashire. We work with older people, adults living with dementia, autistic adults and people with a learning disability, people with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. We built this around longer visits and stable teams, because most of what goes wrong in home care comes from calls too short to do anything properly and rotas that send a different face each week. Given time, a carer can help somebody wash without hurrying them, cook a meal that is actually eaten, notice that a person seems unsteady or low, and have the sort of conversation that improves the rest of the day. The work covers personal care, medication, meals, shopping, laundry and housework, help to get out to appointments and to see people, and genuine company for those who might otherwise speak to nobody. For people living with dementia we hold routines and faces steady, because that does more good than any clever approach. Our carers are trained thoroughly, supported by an office that answers the phone, and expected to raise anything that worries them the same day. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are proud of it and clear with ourselves that it describes work already done rather than a standing entitlement.
