Nov 27 2014: Sheffcare Home Care service awarded new end of life care contract

SHEFFCARE, the not for profit organisation that operates a chain of eleven residential care homes across Sheffield and a full range of services for people living independently, has been awarded a major new contract with Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Sheffcare Home Care Service provides a full range of services to people in their own homes, including personal care, washing, bathing, meal preparation, support with cooking and medication.

Sheffcare also provides a befriending and companion service, and support to carers so they can take a break and a rest themselves.

The new CCG contract will see the Sheffcare Home Care team provide dignified, safe and personalised end of life care, enabling patients to remain living in their own home if they choose to do so.

“Designed specifically for people who are close to the end of life, the service has been created to provide patients with reassurance and support towards the end of their life.” said Sheffcare’s Home Care Development Manager Annette Johnson.

“It will be a responsive, high quality patient focused home care service.”

The service will provide practical care, reassurance and support to patients and their families in their own home, with scheduled visits throughout a 24 hour period, seven days a week, providing care on a flexible, rapid and occasionally crisis basis in order to accommodate the changing needs of the patient.

The service will be provided in conjunction with other NHS mainstream services and voluntary providers.

For more information about the full range of Home Care Service call Annette Johnson on 0114 272 4366 or email: Annette.Johnson@sheffcare.co.uk
