Crossroads Lewis

Crossroads Lewis gives home support to carers regardless of age, disability or illness and to those living alone, struggling with ill-health or loneliness. We also provide a valued Palliative service at home.

Our service is personalised, responds to individual circumstances and needs, gives time and peace of mind to carers to attend appointments, relax, do necessary business, socialise, pursue a hobby or just rest. We aim to prevent carers becoming ill through exhaustion by giving them a break while we provide the care they normally give – including palliative cases.

Those living alone are given companionship, helped to avoid isolation and encouraged in independence – all important in a rural area. By preventing further stress and illness, unnecessary hospital or residential care admission is avoided and service users find encouragement and the will to carry on.

A referral can be made for anyone, of any age. If we feel the person’s needs will be met better by another agency, we will suggest this and offer to refer them. A referral may come from a G.P., Community or Specialist Nurse, Social Worker, other agencies or, very often, an individual, relative or friend.
