These care at home services provide a range and level of support that helps ensure greater independence and a better quality of life. This could be personal care, such as washing, dressing and self-care. Or mobility assistance, which encourages movement and offers advice on appropriate exercises to assist with this. You may also benefit from help with meal preparation, medication management, errands or shopping trips.
