About Guardian Homecare
Guardian Homecare in Preston provides care at home for people across the city and the surrounding parts of Lancashire. We take on a wide range of needs, and each arrangement begins with a proper conversation about what the person wants their day to look like. For older people we help with personal care, medication, meals, housework, shopping and getting out and about, and we notice and raise the changes that are easy to overlook. For people living with dementia we keep the same care workers visiting, follow the routine the household already has and avoid moving things about in a home that is known by heart. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, where the emphasis is on independence and on communicating in the way that suits the person, and adults with mental health needs, where reliability and respect do most of the good. We help people with a physical disability to move safely and manage at home. We also support people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug dependency. That work asks for consistency and a complete absence of judgement, and we do it alongside the health professionals involved. Younger adults are supported around their own commitments. Please ring us if you would like to talk about support at home here.
