About Friends in the Community Home Nursing

Friends in the Community Home Nursing provides care and nursing at home to adults in Lechlade and the surrounding part of Gloucestershire. We support older people who need help to carry on living in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. Our work covers personal care given without rushing, prompting and support with medication, preparing meals, help with laundry, shopping and keeping the home in order, and getting out to appointments or simply out for some air and company. Working across villages and a lot of countryside means distances are real and public transport is thin. People here can become isolated long before they become unwell, so getting somebody out and keeping them connected is often as valuable as any practical task. Two things matter above all in this work. The first is sending the same carers to the same people, because being met by a familiar face is worth a great deal and is close to essential for somebody living with dementia. The second is allowing enough time to do the job properly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch.
