About Sylvian Care West
Sylvian Care Leicester West supports people in their own homes across the western side of the city and the surrounding parts of Leicestershire. We work with older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability. Most people who contact us want to stay where they are, among their own things and their own neighbours, and with the right practical help that is usually achievable. We start by asking what has become difficult and what someone would rather keep doing alone. Our visits might then cover help to wash and dress, support with medication, preparing meals, laundry and housework, shopping, or a call at bedtime so that a person can settle safely. Where someone is living with dementia, consistency does much of the work. We aim to send the same carers at the same times, because a familiar face at a familiar hour is reassuring rather than startling, and because those carers notice quickly when something has changed. Reliability is what people judge home care on, so we plan rounds we can genuinely keep and let clients know promptly if a visit has to move. With the person's agreement we keep families informed and raise health concerns early with GPs and community teams.
