Home Scheme |
01903 879916 |
This scheme, which
initially covers the Steyning and Horsham Town area, provides
domestic help for older people, such as hoovering, dusting, washing
floors, laundry, ironing, changing bed clothes, shopping and pension
collection. It is aimed at people aged 60 and over whose personal
care needs are met by informal carers, who do not have the ability
to undertake practical tasks as well.
Each persona will be entitled to a
maximum of 2 hours help a week. Visits are between the hours of 9am
- 5.30pm. A small subsidised charge is made, which is reduced for
those on income support.
Can cater for people with physical
and sensory disabilities and those with mild to moderate
communication and learning difficulties.
