Our Services
Helping You Live Independently
We provide friendly support to help you stay in your home and community for as long as possible. We’re flexible and can adjust to what you need, to ensure you remain living independently in your own home.
Personalised Support
Everyone is different, so we’ll work with you to find the best solutions for your situation. We’ll also connect you with other services if you need more help.
Building a Support Network
We’ll help you build connections and friendships to reduce loneliness and help you get involved in your community. We’re committed to making sure everyone feels included and supported, no matter what your background is.
Our Support Timeframe
Our support usually lasts for up to 12 weeks, but we’ll keep in touch afterward to make sure you’re still doing well and to offer any additional help you might need.
Getting the Benefits You Are Entitled To
We’ll help you understand what benefits you’re entitled to and how to get them. Our goal is to ease any financial worries you may have.
