Carers’ Support Sitting Service
Our aim is two fold – to be a companion and change of face for the person being cared for and to give the carer a much needed break, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is safe and happy. We offer a sit of 2 hours to allow the full time carer a chance to have a few hours off. Community Care is fortunate to have a small number of dedicated volunteers who have given years of much appreciated commitment to the group.
If you would like information about any of the above please contact Maggie Gordon on 01509 853866. Also please look at the below poster for support for anyone involved in dementia support.
