Dorchester Carers

Dorchester Carers is a useful hub of information and advice for family carers, run by Dorset County Council. It includes a list of local support groups for carers, which meet regularly and offer a varied programme of activities. These include speakers, leisure and health activities, and trips to local attractions. These groups can also provide an opportunity to socialise and make friends. If you cannot attend a group due to care responsibilities, your carer’s caseworker may be able to arrange other social opportunities for you.

Home Care Agency Near Me
There are 14 home care agencies in Dorchester, who specialise in providing professional care at home for the elderly and disabled. Typically, they charge an hourly fee for their services. Home care agencies provide a wide range of home health care services, such as bathing and dressing, transport to appointments, meals, errands, shopping, cleaning, washing, and light housekeeping. Some agencies also offer home nursing visits, supervision of medical care, and other more specialised services.

Choosing a live-in carer is an alternative to moving into a care home. With private care at home, you will have one-to-one support from a fully qualified carer who will live in your own home. You can still stay in control of your day-to-day life and your family and friends are welcome to visit whenever they wish. You can also keep your pets, if you wish. All our carers are fully vetted and trained, so you can have peace of mind that the person you choose will be safe and happy in your care.
