Sitting Service

Service Description

Our Sitting Service relieves carers of older people and adults who have a disability. The sitters provide companionship and basic personal care and participate in a range of activities if required. The sitting service allows the usual or family carers to take a break whilst the cared-for person remains in their home with a trained person who will look after them. Sessions start from 2 hours to 8 hours or as agreed. The service is available from 0800am to 1030pm seven days a week. The service is provided by our trained and verified staff who ensure that, the appropriate level of care is provided in your absence. A sitter provides the companionship, support, personal care and assistance, which would normally be provided by their carer. This might include accompanying the person on a visit or to an appointment, short walks, conversation, reading, games and personal care as required during the break.
