Companionship and home help in Sherborne
Aurora supports people in Sherborne and in the villages nearby. Clients who live in Milborne Port already come into Sherborne with their carers for the supermarket and the garden centre, so those two stops are part of the week we already run.
A visit might be the supermarket shop, time at the garden centre, or an appointment in town, with the same carers rather than a new face each time.
Visits start from one hour. Kirsty and Kayleigh will come to the house, free of charge, and tell you plainly if the plan you need is something Aurora does not currently provide.
