About Walfinch Newcastle East
Walfinch Newcastle East provides care and support to people in their own homes across North Shields and the eastern side of Newcastle. The people we work with include older people, younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities or with sight or hearing loss, and people dealing with difficulties around alcohol or drugs. Support belongs to the person receiving it. It is their home, their routine and their decision how help happens, and we fit around that rather than expecting the reverse. We visit first and take our time over the conversation, because what families assume is difficult and what the person finds difficult are often not the same thing. From that conversation we agree a plan, with family or an advocate involved whenever somebody wants them there, and we revise it as circumstances change. We think carefully about who visits whom. A good match between a support worker and the person they visit is the difference between a rota and a relationship. Where somebody is working on their recovery from addiction, or managing a mental health condition, consistency and a nonjudgemental approach matter more than anything we could write here. Support can cover personal care, medication, meals, housework and shopping, getting to appointments, and company. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk things through.
