Contact us to arrange an assessment of your personal needs.
Struggling to bath or shower in your own home?
There is nothing quite like that feeling once you have just bathed or showered but this is something, we know people can struggle with.
Be treated with dignity and respect and be pampered by one of our CQC registered bathing team who will visit you regularly at pre-agreed times.
Enjoy getting out and about with our Social Activities and Outings programme for all.
Join our: Allotment Club, Singing Group, Monday Club, Badminton Club, Tonic Time exercise class, and a free to join Door to Door outings programme.
We also work closely with two other holiday organisations: Dementia Adventure (enabling holidays together) and Creative Travel (a range of inclusive coach holidays).
If you are keen to talk to someone but not able to join in these activities, our Call In Time service (a regular phone call for a chat) or our Befriending service (a regular visit by one of our DBS checked volunteers for a coffee and a chat) either might be right for you.
