Home Care in Lytham St Annes
“When we were faced with trying to keep Mum in her own home it was daunting and a worry, we had previously experienced very poor quality care from another organisation. Our concerns were soon diminished when your Company started to care for Mum (93 years) They treat mum with complete respect and their genuine caring nature shows through at all times.”
All About You has been helping older people on the Fylde coast stay in their own homes for over 30 years, and Lytham St Annes is one of the towns our carers visit every day. Some of the people we look after need a short call each morning. Others need help several times a day. Either way, the care is planned around you and the way you like to do things.
If this is the first time you have looked into care, you will probably have plenty of questions. One of our experienced managers will be happy to come and see you at home, talk through the help you need and answer anything you want to ask. There is no obligation, and we will never tell you what is best for you. You know that better than anyone.
Care at Home in Lytham St Annes
For some people it is one or two things that have become difficult, such as getting washed and dressed, remembering tablets or making a hot meal. For others it is more. We start with what you can still do for yourself and build the visits around that, so you keep your own routine.
You will see the same friendly faces on each visit. We keep the number of different carers to an absolute minimum, because being looked after by someone you know makes a real difference, especially for people living with dementia or sight loss.
What We Can Support With
Here is some of the help we provide in Lytham and St Annes:
Personal Care
Help with washing, bathing or showering, dressing, shaving, continence care and moving safely around the house. Our personal care services are carried out discreetly and at your pace.
Domiciliary Care
Domiciliary care simply means care in your own home rather than in a care home. Alongside personal care, our home help services cover cleaning, laundry, shopping and preparing meals. They can be booked on their own or as part of a wider package.
Companionship and Wellbeing Checks
Plenty of older residents in the town live on their own, and a regular visit can be the highlight of the week. Our elderly companionship care might be a chat over a cuppa, a walk along the seafront or a lift to an appointment. If you mainly want someone to look in on a relative, our well-being check service makes sure they are safe, warm, eating properly and have taken their medication.
Reablement After Hospital
Coming home after a hospital stay, a fall or an operation can knock anyone’s confidence. Our reablement service gives short-term support to help you get back to doing things for yourself, and we step back as you get stronger.
Dementia Care
A steady routine and familiar faces matter a great deal to someone living with dementia. Our dementia care is provided by the same small team of carers, so your loved one gets to know who is coming through the door.
Palliative and End of Life Care
Most of us would rather spend our final months at home. Our palliative home care helps make that possible, keeping your loved one comfortable and working alongside the family and the nurses and doctors involved in their care.
Learning Disability Support
Our learning disability services help adults live the life they choose, with support for daily routines, personal care, getting out and about, and supported living.
Why Families in Lytham St Annes Choose Us
We are a local company, based in Poulton Le Fylde, and our carers work right across the Fylde. When you ring the office you will speak to someone who knows the area and, before long, knows you.
We listen first. Your care plan is based on what you tell us, and we review it with you regularly to check what is working and what is not. From time to time we also send out a short questionnaire so you can tell us, anonymously if you prefer, how your carers are doing.
Care That Changes With You
Needs rarely stay the same for long. In Lytham St Annes, Mr G started with three visits a week. His sight loss meant he was struggling to keep on top of his medication and personal care, and his daughter was driving 70 miles, four times a week, to help. We asked the council to reassess him, and he now has two visits every day. You can read Mr G’s story here.
If your own care no longer feels like enough, or you need less help than you did, just let us know and we will look at it with you.
Getting Started
Give us a call on 01253 899982 and tell us a little about the person who needs care. We will arrange for one of our managers to visit and talk things through. We look after people who pay for their own care as well as people whose care is arranged by the council, and we can explain the funding options if you are not sure where to start.
