About Muir Care
We provide care at home in Olney and the surrounding area, supporting older people, including those living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. What we do depends on what somebody needs. It may be a visit in the morning to help with washing, dressing and medication, a hand with meals, shopping and housework, support to move about the house safely, or several calls a day where needs are greater. Sometimes it is company and a reliable point of contact for a person who lives alone and sees very few people in the course of a week. Working across a small town and the villages around it means reliability has to be planned rather than promised. We would rather tell you honestly which places and times we can cover than commit to visits we cannot keep. Where we do commit, we try to send the same carers consistently, because that familiarity is what allows somebody to notice when a person is unwell, in pain or low in spirits. For people living with dementia, a familiar and unhurried carer is worth more than anything written in a plan. Our carers are trained for the needs they are asked to meet and can reach senior colleagues for advice. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission and are happy to discuss that openly. If you are thinking about care at home, please get in touch.
