Social Enterprise is a dynamic and responsive business model that works to benefit the Community that it serves. Although we are a Company that creates an income from all that we do, we are designed to ensure that any surpluses are used to benefit the Community both internally and externally. That means we train and support our staff in the best ways we can and look after them in every way possible. We re-invest in the Company operation to constantly improve our systems and practices. Externally, when we can, we reach out to find ways in which we can support some of our best and most effective Charities and projects in the County to ensure that we benefit as many deserving people as possible.
Here at Carers Break we believe that 15, 30 or even 45 minutes are never enough to provide quality care to our elderly and vulnerable families in Cornwall.
Therefore, from our first ever day of providing services in 2013 we have always set our minimum support time to 2 hours . We believe that it’s important to get to know the people we care for, understand their needs, listen to their wishes and hear how they would like to be cared for. In addition to this we believe our staff deserve the opportunity and the time to care for people without worrying about the clock. Hence, our ‘strapline’ is ‘Time to Care’. Time for you and your loved one and time for our team to provide you with the best of themselves.
You or your loved one will have the benefit of a small specialist team that provides all your support.
Carers Break respect your dignity and as such ensure that there is continuity of care by the same professional Carers as far as is possible.
This also ensures that your loved one can relax in the knowledge that the person coming into their home is well known to them and understands their care and support needs well. Building meaningful relationships with our clients and their families is at the core of our pursuit of quality care. By doing so, it allows us to be quick to respond to any changes in circumstances , health conditions or other Care and support needs.
The night support service that we provide is possibly the most comprehensive and highest quality service of its kind anywhere in Cornwall.
Our Compassionate and highly trained Support workers will provide everything you need to ensure that you and your family have as restful a night as is possible.
In some cases, we will provide ‘Sleep in ‘ night support if required or requested.
Usually starting at 10pm through until 7am, our Care and support workers will be awake, observing, protecting and providing for every aspect of your required care in the way that you have personally requested.
These times can be changed by prior arrangement.
If you live anywhere between Launceston and Land’s End, we will do our best to help. Our substantial and growing team of Community Support Workers are embedded all over Cornwall.
You are never far from one of our staff. We are a County Wide Service and can respond to enquiries wherever you live in Cornwall.
