About Age UK & South
We provide care at home across Lincoln and south Lincolnshire, supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Much of our work is the practical business of keeping home manageable: help with washing and dressing, support with medication, a hand with meals, shopping and housework, and assistance to move about safely. A good deal of it is also about company. Many of the people we visit see very few others in the course of a week, and a worker who has time to sit down and talk is doing something worthwhile rather than wasting time. Covering a city and a good deal of countryside means reliability has to be planned rather than promised, and we would rather be honest about what we can cover than commit to more than we can keep to. Where we do commit, we try to send the same people consistently, because a worker who knows somebody notices when they are unwell or low in spirits. Our staff are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and have senior colleagues they can reach. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you would like to talk about support at home, please get in touch.
