We provide as little or as much care as a client needs, for them to continue living their life as independently and individually as possible. We help maintain freedom, dignity and privacy in a sensitive and professional manner.
Our clients’ needs are constantly changing; therefore, we strive to provide a flexible and responsive service, tailored to each individual in a way that compliments and benefits their day-to-day requirements.
A few of the things we can offer:
COMPANIONSHIP
We provide companionship, just to chat, to go out, or to share interest and hobbies. This can be as little or as often as required.
TRIPS OUT
We can offer trips out for shopping, coffees, lunches or just a drive to a local beauty spot.
SHOPPING
We are available to either go shopping on your behalf, or, if you prefer, you can go together.
RESPITE COVER
We can offer respite time to family carers, providing companionship and safety, either on a regular basis or on an ad hoc basis to cover holidays.
DOMESTIC ASSISTANCE
We do not provide a cleaning service but can offer support with light domestic duties as part of an overall care package such as bed changing, laundry, ironing, tidying round, hoovering, dusting etc.
PERSONAL CARE
We can provide support with bathing, washing, dressing, taking medications, getting up or going to bed. This can be as little or as often as required.
MEAL PREPERATION
Our mature minded team are more than capable of preparing and serving a meal of your choosing in just the way you would like it. Ensuring a very positive mealtime experience.
How much care?
We offer our care services from as little as 1 hour a week to a few hours a day.
We can deliver care on a short- or long-term basis, and for post-operative care or convalescence, respite or holiday cover when relatives go away.
We strive to maintain continuity in relation by always sending the same team members, therefore building up a relationship of reliability, trust and often friendship.
The care staff at Ladies in Waiting are mostly women (due to demand, rather than design). We do not deliver nursing care, but all have varied experience in care, ranging from Nursing qualifications and NVQ training to general experience in the care sector.
