About Standby Healthcare
Standby Healthcare provides support to people in their own homes across Newcastle Upon Tyne. We work with older adults, younger adults, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, and people managing mental health conditions. A good deal of our work is about enabling rather than caring in the traditional sense. The aim is somebody running their own home, managing money and appointments, getting to work or college, and spending time with the people they choose. We do the parts that genuinely need doing for a person and leave the rest alone, even when doing it ourselves would be faster. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition, consistency and an absence of judgement matter more than any technique. We turn up when we said we would, we do not lecture, and we stay involved when things are difficult rather than only when they are going well. For older people we provide the more familiar pattern of help with personal care, medication, meals and keeping a household going. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support in Newcastle.
