About Merseyside
We provide care and support in people's own homes across St Helens. Our work is with older adults, younger adults, people living with dementia, and people living with physical disabilities. The purpose is simple enough: to make staying at home a realistic option when daily life has become hard to manage alone. The help covers washing and dressing, medication, meals and drinks, shopping, getting out to appointments, household tasks and company. What the visits actually look like depends on the person, so we ask rather than assume, and we arrange the support around the day somebody wants to have. Reliability is what everything rests on. A person waiting to be helped out of bed cannot do anything else in the meantime, so we plan rotas so that calls arrive when we said they would, and we would sooner take on less work than accept more than we can cover. For people living with dementia we lean on familiarity: the same carer, at a familiar time, in surroundings the person already understands. That prevents more confusion than anything else we could offer. Plans are agreed with the person and revised when circumstances change. Please contact us if you would like to talk about support in St Helens.
