CARE FOR OLDER PEOPLE We provide high quality care/support services to clients with diverse needs who are living in their own homes. Before we create a care support package one of our staff will visit to discuss the person''s needs and agree a care/support plan with you. The plan will be individually tailored to meet the clients needs and wishes. If an individual is already receiving care under an agreed plan, which was arranged between themselves and another local agency (e.g the local authority social services or local health services) we will adhere to that plan accordingly. This situation may occur if the client has chosen to organise their care through the direct payment system. We pride ourselves in being flexible and adaptable to changing needs. All plans are regularly reviewed with clients and if appropriate their family and friends. As people grow older they can become vulnerable within their home as a result of health problems and mobility issues. Whilst these problems can occur over a period of time people can also experience a sudden change of crisis in their home or perhaps that of a relative. We know it is important to work in partnership with everyone in the client''s circle of support. This includes with agreement family members who have a wealth of knowledge and understanding of the individual, which can be shared with us to ensure we provide appropriate and consistent care and support.
