About Caritas Healthcare
Caritas Healthcare is a home care agency working in Preston and across Lancashire. We support adults in their own homes, from older people who need a little help to keep things ticking over to people whose needs are considerable and daily. We visit older people, adults living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and younger adults who want to live independently with the right support behind them. What we actually do varies a great deal. It can be personal care first thing and help to settle at night. It can be prompting and support with medication, cooking a meal, keeping on top of the washing and the shopping, or being the person who notices that somebody is not quite themselves this week. For some people it is company and a reason to get out of the house, which is worth as much as anything practical. We try hard to send the same staff to the same people. Consistency is not a luxury in home care. It is what lets somebody relax in their own front room instead of bracing themselves for a stranger, and it is how we spot changes before they become emergencies. Care is agreed with the person, and with family where the person wants them involved. If you are looking at support at home in Preston, please get in touch and we will talk it through honestly.
