Care and Comfort home support can provide advice and a variety of services to allow older people living in the Newark & Sherwood area to remain safe and independent at home. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to “Live independently at home” with dignity, freedom of choice and control over their lives regardless of frailty or individual need, to maximise their independence. Care and Comfort provides a service that does not discriminate in any way and its staff operate within an Equality and Diversity Policy.Our Carer’s Support Service wants to help carer’s and the people they care for shape what services they require. A carer can be any age looking after a relative or friend and may not live in the same house as the person they care for.
This service aims to:
- Encourage Carer’s to have a Carer’s Assessment and use personal budgets to improve their quality of life and health and well being.
- To help and support carer’s to continue their caring role by introducing a carer support worker.
- To provide whenever possible services and interventions for Carer’s and the people they care in their local communities i.e. Activity Friends
