About Megakare
Megakare provides care and support in people's own homes across Ipswich and the surrounding part of Suffolk. We work with older adults and with younger adults who need help to manage daily life where they live. We keep our remit narrow on purpose, because it lets us do the work properly rather than spreading ourselves thin. What we offer is help with washing and dressing, with medication, with preparing meals and seeing that they are actually eaten, with shopping and laundry, with getting out to appointments, and with the practical business of keeping a household going. Visits are built around the day the person wants to have rather than the day that suits a rota. If somebody has always been up by seven, we do not ask them to start waiting until nine. Where we cannot do something, we say so plainly instead of promising and then disappointing. We keep the same small group of carers going to the same people. Familiarity is what makes personal care bearable for the person receiving it, and a regular carer notices the missed meals or the new unsteadiness long before anybody else. Please contact us if you would like to talk about support at home in Ipswich, and we will come out and discuss it with you.
