Home Care and Care Services in Garstang
“Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for Dad. I am glad you were there for the last days at home. He said yours was the best bacon and eggs ever! You have been so patient with him. it hasn’t always been easy with his dementia but you all dealt with dad in the best possible way.”
Our carers have been visiting homes in and around Garstang for many years, helping older people and adults with disabilities carry on living at home. Our office is in Poulton Le Fylde and our carers cover the whole of Wyre, so help is never far away.
Care does not have to mean a big change to your life. It might be someone calling in each morning to help you get up and dressed, a hand with the shopping on market day, or a few hours of company a week. You tell us what would help, and we work out the visits with you.
Care at Home in Garstang
Before anything is arranged, one of our experienced managers will come and see you at home. It is a relaxed, friendly visit. We will ask about your daily routine, what you find harder than you used to and what you would like to keep doing for yourself. Then we put together a care plan you are happy with.
That plan belongs to you. If something is not working, or you would like visits at a different time, tell us and we will change it.
How We Can Help
Here is how we can help people in Garstang:
Personal Care
Getting washed, bathed or showered, dressed and ready for the day, with help at mealtimes and with continence care if needed. Our personal care services at home are always carried out with dignity and without rushing.
Domiciliary Care
This is the term councils and hospitals often use for care in your own home. It can combine personal care, medication prompts and practical help in one package, and we can add regular welfare checks for elderly relatives who live alone.
Home Help
When housework starts to feel like hard work, our elderly home help can take care of the cleaning, laundry, changing the beds, shopping and cooking. It can be booked on its own, without any personal care.
Companionship
Living in a smaller town or out in the villages can be lonely, especially if you no longer drive. Our companionship for the elderly can include a sitting service, a trip into town for a coffee, or simply someone to talk to about your week.
Reablement
After a spell in hospital, an operation or a fall, our reablement services give you short-term support while you get your strength back. The goal is for you to need less help each week, not more.
Dementia Care
We know that a new face at the door can be unsettling for someone with dementia. Our home care for dementia sticks to the same carers and the same routine wherever we can.
Palliative and End of Life Care
If your loved one wishes to stay at home towards the end of their life, our palliative care at home helps the family make that happen. We provide gentle, practical support and keep in touch with the nurses and doctors involved.
Why Choose a Local Care Agency?
With a local care agency in Garstang, you get the same small group of carers rather than whoever happens to be free. We keep changes to an absolute minimum, so you can build up trust with the people who come to your home.
We are also easy to get hold of. Our office is open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and until 4pm on Friday, and there is an out-of-hours number for emergencies, day or night.
A Garstang Example
Mrs R already had four visits a day from us, paid for by the council. The problem was getting to her medical appointments. Her son does not drive and her daughter lives 50 miles away, so she had started missing them.
We added extra private visits on appointment days, so one of the carers she knows can go with her. At Mrs R’s request, we also let her family know how each appointment went. She now gets to all of them. You can read the full story here.
Arrange Care Services in Garstang
Care can be paid for privately, arranged by the council, or a mix of the two, as it is for Mrs R. If you are not sure what you are entitled to, we are happy to explain your funding options.
