Able Community Care enables people of any age who are disabled or frail to live in their own home by providing a housekeeper/carer service specifically tailored to meet each individuals requirements. It is a founder member of The United Kingdom Home Care Association. Able Community Care provides its service in two forms. Long term care using a fortnightly rotation of carers and short term respite care covering periods such as holidays, post hospital cover, illness and recuperation. Housekeepers/carers can be male or female as required and offer the following:
- Carrying out usual domestic tasks in the home (eg cooking, cleaning, laundry).
- Personal care and assisting with personal hygiene, if required.
- Companionship, social care, taking the person out.
- It also can provide care for younger persons to enable them to live as a family, continue with a career and take on training, live independently of parents or family, pursue pastimes and hobbies or to live independently of an acute or long stay residential institution.
Able Community Care has clients and carers countrywide. All prospective long-term clients are visited free of charge. All housekeepers/carers are personally interviewed. The organisation keeps in touch with clients and carers via a bi-monthly bulletin. Further information on the service and fees can be obtained from the contact details above.
