About Lyfem Home Care Services UK
We provide care at home in Lewisham and the surrounding part of London, supporting older people and younger adults who need a hand to manage in their own houses and flats. Our work is simple to describe and particular in the doing. We send trained carers to people who need help at home, and we arrange that help around the life somebody already has rather than around our own convenience. For some people a single visit each morning for washing, dressing and medication is enough. Others need calls through the day and into the evening, help with meals and shopping, and support to move about the house safely. Continuity and reliability are what this work rests on, and in a part of London where people are used to seeing a different carer every week they take real effort. A carer who has visited for months notices the small changes that signal somebody is becoming unwell, and the person is spared explaining themselves to a stranger. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was requires improvement. We would rather tell you that ourselves than leave you to find it later. We are working through the points the inspectors raised and are willing to go through the report with anyone considering us. If you are considering care at home, please get in touch and we will be honest about what we can take on.
