Companionship and home help in Shaftesbury
Kirsty lives in Shaftesbury. Aurora supports people in the town and in the villages around it, including Wardour. The families we already support in the Shaftesbury area include clients in Wardour, who come into town with their carers.
Those trips are for the supermarket, the shops and the cafés. The pace is unhurried, with a carer who already knows the person. We also visit Iwerne Minster, including the village shop, from this part of our round.
Visits start from one hour and are regular, so the same small team gets to know your mum or dad. The first step is a free home visit. Call Kirsty with your postcode and she will tell you whether we can reach you.
