Live-in care offers personalised, round-the-clock support in the comfort of your home. It’s a great value alternative to residential care home.
We match you with a skilled care assistant who lives with you, maintaining your routines, encouraging independence, and ensuring your safety. And our Caton-based team of experts provides additional support, quickly addressing unforeseen issues and liaising with other health and care professionals. This means your family members can focus on spending quality time with you. Other providers rarely offer this level of service.
There’s no need to worry about a newcomer living in your home. Our experienced carers know just when to step in and when to step out. Sometimes, you’ll hardly know they’re there!
All our carers are police-checked and trained to assist with a wide range of needs, from companionship to complex health care.
Claire Evans, Director of Bluebird Care
Lancaster and South Lakeland
Have you thought about live-in care?
If you have enhanced care and support needs, live-in care at home is a great option to consider and much better value than you might expect.
My mother-in-law, Shirley, is 91 and always valued her independence and autonomy. However, a recent accident landed her in hospital, with limitations to her mobility and a lot of pain.
Shirley wanted to get home as soon as possible. Hospitals in winter are busy, understaffed places and not always conducive to recovery.
But Shirley’s injuries meant she needed substantial support around the clock to get her strength back. Shirley wanted to be in the home she has lived in for more than 60 years, in her familiar surroundings, with familiar things, close to her friends and neighbours, and - most importantlywith full autonomy over her routines.
Shirley accepted a live-in carer at home as an interim measure. Their job was to help keep Shirley safe when mobilising around the house, assist with rehab exercises, prepare nutritious meals to coax back appetite, and fulfil any other tasks Shirley needed help with since the accident. Their joint aim was to restore Shirley’s full independence, possibly getting her stronger than before the accident.
Shirley said “I really didn’t want to have someone living with me but I also knew this was the price to pay to get home quickly. In the event, Audrey was fantastic, kind and friendly without being overbearing and often I hardly knew she was there. She knew just what to do and when. I’m independent again now, but if ever my circumstances change I won’t hesitate in having Audrey back.”

JEWELLERY AND COIN ROADSHOW
A very lucky couple called at one of our recent roadshow events with a couple of old gold chains and a silver charm bracelet and a bag of old silver British coins. We paid them over £1600.00 just for the coins alone. They turned out to be pre 1947 silver coins that were normal currency a few years ago and are now highly collected. We asked them for their permission to pass on this story to help other people realise what they may be sitting on and they were only too pleased to allow us to let everyone know that they might be sitting on a goldmine and not even know it! Like most people, who can only dream of winning the pools or the lottery, a lot of normal households have a hidden treasure of old gold jewellery, silver jewellery, teapots, trophies, trays and old objects d’art.

Your Local Glazing Experts!
As the foremost domestic glass replacement company in the UK for more than 18 years, Cloudy2Clear Windows are the leading name in the industry. There is now no need for you to risk your windows by using the dreaded double glazing cowboy down the street. You can join over 340,000 happy customers and replace your glass ethically and affordably. If you have a failed glass unit it may not provide you with the protection you need, or be as energy-efficient as it once was. Why not take a minute to check your home to see if any double glazing has failed? Taking action now can prevent future financial problems.
When talking to the Manager of Cloudy2Clear Darren Thomas it became evident that the value of saving their customers money
has been held dear for a number of years. In addition since starting the business in 2005, Cloudy2Clear have committed to supporting the local community by providing a service that saves the public both time and money.
The Cloudy2Clear service only requires the glass to be replaced and not the whole window once the unit has failed. Darren commented “By doing this we make the customer considerable savings and there is much less upheaval in the family home. Also, whether communities find themselves in a financial crisis or not, saving money when you don’t need to waste it is always the sensible option, and our service does just that”.

We don’t think twice about updating our kitchens and bathrooms to improve their functionality and appearance. So why restrict your conservatory’s use to only certain times of the year, when it’s not too cold or too hot?
We can upgrade your conservatory by tiling the outside with lightweight tiles, installing breathable wadding insulation to the inside and finishing with white cladding or plastering. Most roofs are completed in just two days. Our professional, courteous roofing installers ensure high-quality workmanship, and we guarantee both our installation and products.
Failed windows not only look terrible, but they allow cold air and moisture in to your home and that means you are going to pay more than you should, to heat your house each and every month.
Let Back to Brilliant Windows fix your foggy windows, and you can start saving money on those heating bills. Don’t forget all our windows are backed by a tenyear manufacturer’s guarantee, not just a flimsy certificate which isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
Our fully trained window experts can repair your windows quickly and economically, bringing them back to show house quality.
Don’t just accept foggy windows, after all no one wants windows that allow moisture, cold and mould into your home.
Let Back to Brilliant windows explain how you can save money, compared to the cost of replacing complete windows.
Call Anthony O’Brien at Back to Brilliant windows and start saving money now. Modern windows are designed to act as an insulation barrier in a room, if they fail you might as well open the windows and throw money out onto the road.
