About Dignity in Life

Dignity in Life is a home care agency supporting people across Preston in their own homes. The name is meant seriously. A great deal of home care is personal, and the way it is done determines whether somebody feels looked after or simply processed. We support older people who need help with washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and getting out safely, and people living with dementia, where a familiar carer and an unhurried approach achieve far more than a detailed plan handed to a stranger. We also work with adults managing mental health conditions, where reliability and being genuinely listened to count for a great deal, and with younger adults, whose priorities are usually about getting on with ordinary life rather than being kept safe indoors. We plan our visits so that people see the same small group of carers. That continuity is what lets our team spot when somebody is not their usual self, which is frequently how a small concern is dealt with before it turns into something serious. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather say that outright. Until we do, judge us on whether we arrive when we said we would, whether we stay the full time and whether we are honest with you when something has gone wrong.
