Live-in Care in Caithness

Able Community Care has provided Live-In Care in Caithness since the 1980s. 

Our clients are both older people and people with a disability who wish to remain safely and happily in their own homes — from the remote crofts and coastal villages to the towns of Wick, Thurso, John o’ Groats and Lybster — rather than face the upheaval of moving into a residential care setting.

Hourly care is often not suitable for people with high dependency needs who require continuous 24-hour support, 7 days a week. Live-in care provides consistent, reliable assistance without the disruption of multiple carer visits throughout the day.

A trustworthy service. 

Our live-in carers provide support with domestic tasks, personal care needs, companionship, and — by living in — an added element of safety and reassurance, especially important in the more remote parts of Caithness. We aim to provide each client with a fortnightly rotational system of carers so they feel comfortable and supported in their own home.

All our Carers have a minimum of one year’s experience in the care field and are interviewed face-to-face or via Zoom.

With references obtained and verified as genuine by Able Community Care.

Mandatory training is updated annually.

They have also undergone enhanced police checks, which are updated every three years.
