Are you a carer of anyone living in the London Boroughs of Lambeth, Merton, Wandsworth or Sutton? If so you may be able to benefit from our services as we aim to offer and provide a high quality, home based, individual respite service to carers and people with care needs within those boroughs. OUR SERVICE IS: - Committed to providing a high quality, home based respite service - Designed to provide a few hours respite on a regular basis for the carers of ill and disabled people as well as children and adults with learning difficulties - Free of charge to many clients - Recognised to help keep families together in the home and therefore out of hospitals and other institutions - Contributes in no small measure to saving resources of Borough Councils and the NHS - Is designed to be flexible and can easily be adapted to meet the needs of carers and those they care for. We are committed to providing practical support where it is most needed - in the home. All potential clients are visited and their needs assessed. Then trained and paid Care Support Workers go into the home to take over the caring tasks, giving the carer an essential break. Carers needs are paramount in the provision of our services. We offer a flexible and adaptable service to meet the needs of Carers and those they care for. All our Workers and Volunteers are fully trained and CRB checked to an enhanced level, and we are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission.
