Published June 17, 2024

Cumbria, UK - July 2024 - In the idyllic landscapes of Cumbria, from Barrow to Kendal, throughout the Lake District from Penrith, Cockermouth and Kendal, and onwards to Workington, Carlisle, and Brampton to the East, where rolling hills and picturesque villages paint a serene backdrop, a quieter yet significant challenge is often overlooked - the struggle faced by elderly individuals striving to maintain their independence amidst the complexities of ageing.

Good Companions, a leading provider of home care services in the region for over 25 years, has proudly announced the launch of its 24-hour Live-In Registered Care Service. This new initiative will provide comprehensive, round-the-clock care, empowering elderly individuals to age with dignity and comfort in their own homes.

The elderly population in Cumbria faces numerous challenges, from managing daily tasks such as cooking and cleaning to navigating the complexities of medication management and personal care. These challenges are further compounded by health conditions such as arthritis, dementia, and mobility issues. For many, the idea of leaving the familiar comfort of their homes for institutionalised care is daunting. This is where Good Companions offers a vital lifeline through personalised home care services.

With the introduction of the 24-hour Live-In Registered Care Service on July 1, 2024, Good Companions is taking its care commitment in Cumbria to the next level. This service ensures that elderly individuals receive continuous, one-to-one care in the comfort of their own homes, maintaining their familiar routines and surroundings. Rated 'GOOD' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), this service promises the highest standards of care and support.

Key Features of the 24-Hour Live-In Registered Care Service:

One-to-One Full-Time Care at Home: The new live-in care service provides dedicated carers who live with the client, offering constant support and companionship. This arrangement ensures that the elderly receive personalised attention tailored to their unique needs.

"We are thrilled to launch our 24-hour Live-In Registered Care Service," said Mark Newby, Managing Director at Good Companions (Cumbria). "Our goal is to provide a comprehensive support system that allows elderly individuals to live safely and comfortably in their own homes. By offering personalised, round-the-clock care, we aim to enhance their quality of life and provide peace of mind to their families."

In a region celebrated for its natural beauty and strong community spirit, Good Companions ensures that many elderly persons can embrace their golden years with grace and vitality.
