About Lincs
We provide care in people's own homes in Market Rasen and the surrounding villages of Lincolnshire. Our clients are older people, younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Working across a rural county has its own demands. Distances are long, neighbours can be far off and getting into town is not simple for everybody, so our visits often carry more weight than the same visit would in a city. We plan our rounds with that in mind, so that calls are made when they are supposed to be and people are not left waiting. What happens on a visit is agreed with the person beforehand. It might be help to get up, wash and dress, support with medication, preparing meals and making sure somebody is eating and drinking properly, help to move safely about the house, laundry and shopping, or getting out to appointments. Company matters too, and for people who see few others in a week we do not treat conversation as an optional extra. We put the plan in writing so everybody knows what has been arranged, and we revise it as things change. Our carers are trained for the needs they will meet, supervised properly, and kept as consistent as our rotas allow, because knowing who is coming through the door makes a real difference. If you are looking into care at home in this part of Lincolnshire, please get in touch and we will give you an honest picture.
