About Cumbria

We provide care in people's own homes in Barrow in Furness and the surrounding area. The people we visit include older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, and people with physical disabilities. Most people contact us because daily life has become harder than it was and they would much rather stay where they are than move. What makes that possible varies from one household to the next. It can be a short call in the morning for washing, dressing and breakfast, several visits across the day, support with medication, help getting out to appointments, or a longer visit so a family carer can have a genuine break. We meet the person before anything begins, agree what will actually help rather than what is easiest to arrange, and put it in plain writing. When needs change, the plan changes with them. This is a part of the country where people can live a long way from the nearest help, and we think about that practically when we plan visits and arrange cover. We keep the same carers going to the same homes wherever the rota allows, because being helped with private things is far easier with a familiar face, and regular staff notice early when somebody is unwell. Please get in touch if you would like to talk things through.
