About Stocks Home Care Services
We provide care at home in Skelmersdale and the surrounding area, visiting people in their own houses so that daily life can carry on in familiar surroundings. Our work starts with understanding how somebody actually lives and where the difficulties are, rather than with a standard package. We support older people, including those living with dementia, and we try hard to send the same carers, because familiarity settles a day in a way nothing else quite manages. We also support younger adults who need help at home, people with a physical disability, assisting with moving about safely, with personal care and with the practical jobs that have become difficult to manage alone, and people with a visual or hearing impairment, where adjusting how we communicate makes a real difference. Visits can be short calls once a day or more substantial support morning and evening, covering personal care, medication, meals, help about the house and company. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat that as a starting point rather than an achievement to rest on, and we keep asking the people we support and their families what could be better. If you are looking into care at home in this area, please get in touch and we will be honest with you about what we can offer.
