About PCS (Personal Care Services)
PCS supports people in their own homes in Skelmersdale and across this part of Lancashire. We work with older people, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with a physical disability, people with visual or hearing impairment, younger adults and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. We take on a broad range of need on purpose. People's circumstances rarely stay neatly in one category, and being able to keep supporting somebody as things change matters more than tidy specialisms. Our visits cover personal care, support with medication, meals, help around the house and getting out and about. For younger adults and for people with a learning disability, the work is often less about personal care and more about making an ordinary week workable. Where somebody is struggling with addiction or with poor mental health, we work without judgement. Reliability and being treated as a capable adult do far more good than advice nobody asked for. 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, and it is what allows us to notice when something changes. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk things through.
