About Free Spirit Support Service

We are Free Spirit Support, and we support older people in their own homes in Retford and the surrounding parts of Nottinghamshire. Our visits range from a single short call each day through to several hours of support, arranged to fit the person's routine rather than our rota. Most of what we do is practical help with the everyday business of getting through the day: getting up and dressed, a bath or a shower, medication taken on time, a proper meal cooked, the shopping fetched, the laundry done, and getting out to appointments or into town with some company on the way. We support people living with dementia, where continuity is everything, so we keep the same familiar care workers with the same households wherever the rota allows. We also support people with physical disabilities, taking care over equipment and over how somebody prefers to be assisted. We should be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that here than let you find it elsewhere. We know what the inspectors raised, we are working through it, and we will discuss any part of it openly. Please get in touch and ask us anything.
