Around The House
Companionship

Light Housekeeping
Our carers can assist with light housekeeping services that include cleaning kitchens, dusting, vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, cleaning bathrooms, taking out the rubbish and recycling, laundry and organising clothes, drawers and wardrobes as well as general tidying around the home – jobs can be as big or as small as is required – our focus is anything to keep clients feeling in control and inspired by their surroundings.
Pet Care
Pets can be extremely important to a senior’s mental, emotional, and physical health. Nevertheless, caring for a pet can become more challenging with age. Our carers can help ensure that pets are getting the attention they need to stay healthy and happy; by feeding and grooming pets, and taking dogs on walks.
Light Handyman Services and Small Repairs

Respite Care
