Who it helps
Anyone finding housework tiring or unsafe, people after an illness or a hospital stay, and families worried Mum isn't eating properly.
How often, and for how long
From one hour, three times a week up to daily, usually combined with companionship.
Keeping an eye on meals
Our carers keep an eye on whether your loved one is eating well, and let you know if anything changes.
A real example
For one client, we cook a hot meal from scratch every day.
Areas we cover
North Dorset, South Somerset and South Wiltshire. Call Kirsty with your postcode if you are not sure.
What families say
Household help questions
Light jobs only. Gardening can be a shared hobby during a visit. We don’t take on garden maintenance.
Yes, when that is what the plan agrees. A visit can include the shop and a meal in the same call.
We don't publish fixed prices. After a free home visit, Kirsty gives you a clear written quote.
