About A Little Extra Help

A Little Extra Help provides care and support in people's own homes in Corby and the surrounding parts of North Northamptonshire. The name describes the work fairly well, because for most of the people we visit it is not a question of taking over, but of filling in the gaps so that life at home keeps working. We support older people and younger adults. Our visits might cover help with getting washed and dressed, support and prompting with medication, preparing meals, help with shopping and the housework, or simply having somebody reliable call in each day to check that all is well. Where more is needed we can provide longer visits and fuller personal care. We also support people living with dementia, and in that work continuity is everything. We keep the same carers going to the same people, we learn each person's habits and history, and we let families tell us what has always worked so that we do not have to discover it the hard way. We stay in touch with relatives and with the GPs, community nurses and social workers involved, and we speak up quickly if we think something needs to change. If you are looking into care at home in Corby, ring us and we will come and talk it through.
