Close Care Cymru can provide support to help you live independently at home. We are able to offer a number of services which are outlined below:

Are you finding it more difficult to live independently at home?

Are you starting to struggle to do the things you used to do without someone helping you?

Are you caring for someone, and need some personal time to do the things you like to do?

Close Care Cymru is able to help. Our proffessional support workers can come to your home morning, evening or night time. We can help bath / shower you, help you take your medication, prepare you meals, take you shopping, help you manage your bills and much much more.

We can also provide support to carers. These may be friends or family members, who give their personal time to support a person to live at home or in the community.  

 

How Will I Fund My Care ?

As long as you have less than £26,000 in savings or investments, then there's an extremely high chance that your care can be provided free of charge. In the majority of cases, your local authority social services department will pay Close Care Cymru directly for the care you recieve. If not, then you may choose to use the 'Direct Payments' option. Please click on the Funding tab to look at this in more detail.

 

What Do I Do Next ?

1. Feel free to give us a ring. We'll be more than happy to point you in the right direction.

2. Call your local authority social services department. These numbers can be found in our useful numbers section.  (Everyone in the UK is entitled to a needs assessment).

3. Your local authority social services department will ask you a few simple questions over the telephone before they come and visit you.

4. The social worker will come to your home, and have an informal chat with you to discuss what you can and can't do, what you need support with, and what type of support you can recieve.  (the person who helps care for you at home is also entitled to a carer's needs assessment. This allows them to take up any old hobbies or interests they used to have, or even allows them personal time to visit friends or family)

Remember !!! - It's not just elderly people who may need home care! ANYONE who is struggling to live at home is entitled to an assessment by social service for home help.
