Crossroads Care - Services

Specialist Services

We have teams of trained carer support workers who are specifically trained to deliver a higher level of support in the following areas:

Supporting people who have palliative care needs, including end of life care. This may include personal care, medication administration and/or overnight care.
Supporting people with advanced stages of Dementia (including those with a palliative diagnosis) who may require a more flexible and enhanced level of care and understanding.
Supporting carers of people with Dementia who may be experiencing a crisis which could potentially mean that the person with Dementia may need to be admitted to hospital or into a nursing home. By providing a temporary, emergency service in the person’s own home, this would give an opportunity to stabilise the situation and prevent the crisis developing further.
Supporting adults with complex needs (who may display challenging behaviour) in the community to access community based activities.
