About Doodles Stick
Doodles Stick provides care at home across Northampton and the surrounding area, supporting adults of all ages and a broad range of needs. We work with older adults and younger adults, people living with dementia, people with a learning disability and autistic adults, adults with mental health conditions, and those with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Covering that much ground only works if training is specific, so care workers are prepared for the particular households they will visit rather than briefed in general terms and left to manage. The everyday work is personal care, help with medication, meals, keeping a home running, getting out, and company for people who would otherwise spend the day alone. None of it is complicated to describe and all of it depends on being done consistently. That is where our attention goes. Visits that happen when they were agreed. The same familiar faces at the same doors. Records that say what actually happened. Concerns raised with families early, while something useful can still be done, rather than once a situation has become urgent. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. If you are working out what support you or a relative might need, ring us and we will talk it through plainly, including telling you if we are not the right choice.
