When to choose cancer care

Has your cancer become a bit too much to handle on your own? Whatever you’re going through, we can help with simply keeping the house clean and the dishwasher empty to help take the load off! We can prepare your meals, look after your adorable pets, and just be a general kind face in your time of need. Perhaps you just need a temporary carer for some short-term help. In which case, our respite care might be good for you. Our long-term care can be either live-in or visiting, and we personalise your support plan to fit around your cancer-related needs. Just because you are living with cancer doesn’t mean you need to move away from historic Penrith, you can stay at home.

Cancer care services tailored to your needs

Our carers are fully trained to handle a variety of conditions, including cancer. We know how to help with administering medication and low-grade medical assistance, such as bowl, stoma, and catheter care. If you need personal care due to your cancer, then we can handle it discreetly and respectfully. You may have gone through treatment for your cancer recently, whether that’s chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormonal therapy. After your treatment, we can be there to support you adapt and continue to live life the best way possible. You’re in safe hands with us – literally – and we will endeavour to take the fear out of your condition.

Qualified carers providing cancer care in Penrith

Our carers are handpicked for their qualifications, experience, and genuine passion for helping others. DBS checked, we make sure they’re the best men and women for the job. Having completed our condition-specific training, they go above and beyond every day to make themselves and our company proud. We also offer nurse-led care if you need a more medically trained eye to help with your more complex care needs. This includes ventilated care, nephrostomy care and continence care. We also handpick our carers to match your interests and personality so who knows? You’ll soon have a new companion to take a trip to Penrith Castle!
