Care Attendants

Our team of trained Care Attendants has personal and employment backgrounds of an amazing variety.  Our constitution states that we will provide support to Carers of any age who care for a dependant with any disability. This means that the Care Attendants can be providing care to individuals with conditions such as dementia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, circulatory/cardiac problems including individuals diagnosed as being terminally ill. One of our largest client groups is 'special needs' children who may have learning difficulties, autism, cerebral palsy, or a wide range of physical disabilities. As we have no age restrictions for those we provide care for we have a vast range of individuals, our oldest being 103 and our youngest only 3 years old.
