A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OURSELVES

Crossroads in Wirral started in 1979 with a steering group and became an up & running scheme in 1981. In 1990 the Wirral and Ellesmere Port & Neston schemes merged. Late last year 2008 and early this year 2009 we merged with two other schemes - Chester Crossroads and West area of the
South Cheshire Crossroads. After the merge it was decided that we needed a new title combining all schemes, so we became CHESHIRE WEST & WIRRAL CROSSROADS. We are a member of the National Association of Crossroads Schemes.
in August of this year Crossroads Association launched a re-brand. we have a new title now which is
CROSSROADS CARE CHESHIRE WEST & WIRRAL

WHAT ARE OUR OBJECTIVES?

To relieve stress in families or in persons responsible for the care of a person or persons with care
needs, To supplement and complement - not to replace - existing statutory services, and to work closely
with them, To strive to maintain a high standard of care, through the provision of community based
Carer Support Workers.

WHAT WE DO

We aim to provide a flexible and adaptable service that meets the needs of individual carers and those
they care for. We cover the whole range of age and disability, ranging from children with autism to older
people with dementia. Our staff also gives the all-important emotional support to carers.

HOW WE HELP CARERS

Our highly trained care staff can take over your caring responsibilities, so that you can have a break. Our
staff can visit daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.This break can be essential to allow the carer to ‘re-charge their batteries’, enabling them to continue their caring role. By using our services, the carers
have time to themselves - to go out, catch up with friends and family, keep up with hobbies and pastimes that they enjoy or to work, the CARER is free to do whatever they like. Safe in the knowledge that the person they care  for is in safe hands.
