Description
Who can use our services?
Caring for You is a Wakefield based ‘at home’ domiciliary care organisation with a team dedicated to providing support for Adults and Children with learning disabilities and difficulties, and many other related conditions.
What services do we provide?
We provide professional, high-quality care and support for you in your home. Whether you require occasional visits for social activities, or daily assistance with practical tasks to help build your future, our goal is to help you live a dignified, independent and full life in your own home, and out in the community.
Our support packages are aimed at helping you understand your condition including your strengths and weaknesses and helping you to live an independent life. This also includes help with finding useful and effective strategies for day-to-day problems as well as any related conditions such as; anxiety, obsessive compulsive tendencies and challenging behaviours.
As our packages are tailored to each individual's needs each care plan is unique, meaning we do not have an exclusive list of services, but they could include:
1. Providing support and encouragement in creating and building on friendships
2. Accompanying you on social activities and day trips
3. Helping you to play a part in your community by finding local groups or clubs you can join
4. Help with pursuing hobbies and leisure or sporting activities including encouraging a healthy lifestyle
What happens when you call us?
Whether you have been referred to us by social services or contacted us directly, information about you will be handled sensitively and in confidence. A member of our staff will discuss our services with you and gain an understanding of the type of services you require, and ensure that our services can meet your needs. Following this we will arrange a time which best suits you for a member of specially trained staff to visit you in your home. On this visit we will answer any of your questions, explain all of your options for services and fill out a Needs Assessment. This will give you a better understanding of what we offer and how we deliver it, and allow us to create a summary focused specifically on your individual needs. Having assessed your needs we will prepare a service user care plan which will include our recommendations for your care and how you can expect us to deliver it. This will include details such as the times of visits, special tasks to be performed and the general objectives of the care provision. Over time, your needs may change. You may need more or less care, the type or pattern of service may have to be varied and new risks may become apparent. You can be confident that we will keep your needs under review and make decisions about your care together.
All our services are available through self-funding, direct payments and personal budgets.
Please note the price shown is a typical cost for this service and is dependent on your individual needs and requirements. Once these have been discussed we can confirm a price.
