About Gemini Care
Gemini Care provides home care in Ellesmere and the surrounding part of Shropshire, supporting older people in their own homes, including many living with dementia. We do a narrow thing and we would rather do it properly than spread ourselves thin. For almost everybody we visit, the whole point of us is that they stay where they are. A familiar house on a familiar street, with your own chair and your own kitchen, is worth a great deal, and losing it is often feared more than the condition that threatens it. Where dementia is involved we take our lead from the household, because the family already knows the words that work, the hour of the day that is hard, and what sets things off. We would far rather be told at the start than find out slowly by getting it wrong. Familiar surroundings are a real advantage in home care, but the risks are different from those in a care home, and so is the strain on whoever else lives there. We pay attention to both. This is a rural patch, so we plan rounds honestly rather than promising times we cannot keep. We have not yet had a full inspection by the Care Quality Commission, so there is no rating to offer. Ring us and we will come to the house and talk it through.
