Compassion

CathyCare provides proactive companionship – spending quality time with a person to ensure that they are not left to feel alone. It is also important to aim for empowerment, such that a cared-for person does as much as they can for themselves with gentle guidance and supervision.

 

Those needing care also need enjoyment – simple things like a shopping trip, a social event, a visit to the park, or just an ordinary conversation can add immeasurably to a person’s well-being and sense of self.

 

Collaboration

CathyCare works closely with the family of the cared-for individual. In order to respond to on going care needs.

 

Equally important are the other professionals who attend to your loved one – CathyCare works alongside healthcare services to ensure a medical regimen is administered by prompting or calling on external services as required.

 

Continuity

CathyCare aims to provide a regular and consistent friendly face, deal with any worries and cover those areas of care not provided elsewhere.

 

Practicalities

Managing personal routines and hygiene – meals, special diets, medical appointments, family occasions, personal grooming and feeding, looking after pets. CathyCare takes the time to make sure these things are provided, always focused on the needs of the individual and their family, and always with dignity and respect.
