HomeCare

Living at home, surrounded by your own possessions, is a comfort that everyone values. But sometimes this can become difficult. Special needs that can come with injury, ill health, disability, or advancing age can make it harder for people to maintain their independence.

Salvation Army HomeCare offers the short-term or long-term practical support you require to maintain a comfortable lifestyle in your own environment.

If you are finding it hard to cope with everyday activities such as personal hygiene, cooking or cleaning, please contact us.
