About Livingstone Health Care Services
We provide care at home for people across Waltham Forest and the surrounding parts of London. Our carers come to you, and what they do is shaped by what you have asked for, not by a standard package. That might be help getting up and dressed, support with medication, preparing meals, housework and shopping, help getting out to appointments or simply time and company. The people we visit are varied. Many are older, and a good number are living with dementia. We also support younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss, people with a learning disability or autism, and people managing mental health conditions. Because the range is wide, we take care over matching. The right carer for one person is not the right carer for another, and we would rather spend time getting that fit correct at the start. Continuity is something we work hard at. Where we can, the same small team visits each person, arriving when we said we would, so that trust has a chance to build and changes get noticed early. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We see that as the baseline we are expected to hold rather than something to put on a poster, and we keep asking the people we support whether we are doing what we promised. If you want to discuss care at home for yourself or a relative, we are happy to visit and talk through the options.
