Full service description:

The service can be provided to allow carers to have a short break (also called respite) or to provide care and support to someone living alone. The cared-for person may be of any age and have any kind of disability or illness or health-related needs. Services offered: Respite for the carer - giving the carer that much needed break Personal care for persons living alone, such as help with feeding and bathing Palliative care A Care Attendant provides care and support in the service user’s own home. Generally, most care and support tasks that would otherwise have been done by a family carer can be done by the Care Attendant. This includes personal care tasks. It does not include tasks that should be carried out by a nurse or other healthcare professional. Home visits may be for a short period, for example to undertake personal care tasks for someone living alone, or for a longer period if it is to give the carer a break. Usually home visits are at the same time each week.
