HEALTH CARE ASSISTANTS
We provide personal care and support to Clients with a wide range of needs, which could be as a result of various illnesses, disabilities and nature.
Our Senior Care team will sit down with the client and those involved in their care to assess and create a safe, effective, flexible, and fully personalised care plan based on an individual’s needs. We then present the finished care plan so you can decide on the right level of care, which of course can be changed as and when needed. Our healthcare assistants will then be guided by the bespoke care plans to complete and deliver care/support duties as follows:
