Crossroads Care - Adults & older people’s service

Crossroads Care has been looking after carers needs for over 30 years. By providing 1:1 support to those they care for it enables the carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities. By having time to themselves carers can access their hobbies, other interests, go back to work or even back to education.

We provide carer support workers who are trained to a high standard and hold a current CRB.

All our staff are trained in assisted mobility, medication, first aid, food hygiene, safeguarding of vulnerable adults and many other subjects.
