At Reliance Community Care we know that one size doesn't fit all, which is why our care packages are as individual as you are.
Perhaps you want the flexibility for overnight care on occasions, without the commitment to live-in care? Or maybe you need a combination of domiciliary and companionship care?
Being a carer is such a varied role. All our carers are experienced in providing person-centred care to suit a wide range of needs, whether you need support for a few hours a week, 24-hours per day or anything inbetween.
If you're interested in a more personally tailored care package, take a look at the full list of tasks our carers can do to support you and your loved ones below, or contact us to discuss your needs.
