Looking after a child with additional needs 24/7, 365 days a year is not an easy task and can be a stressful experience for a family. We understand the challenges of looking after a child with additional needs and understand you need to trust an external person to help you with the care of your child.
That’s where Alcedo Care can step in to help and provide that bit of extra support for parents and extended family.
Our team of professionals can support children and young people with Learning Disabilities, Physical Disabilities and Complex Care needs. We offer support with social interaction, access to the community and personal care.
Our care assistants and support workers are specifically trained to deal with a range of conditions and can care for conditions including:
Our fully trained care teams have practical experience in dealing with behaviours of concern, autistic spectrum disorders, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.
Should your child have complex care requirements, such as support with administering complex medication, we can provide the support of highly skilled healthcare professionals, with specific skills, tailored to meet your complex requirements.
As well as care in the home, our team of trained children’s care professionals can provide social visits and activities, such as accompanying to swimming sessions, youth groups, shopping, and help with socialising in group settings, play centres, parks or the beach. Alternatively, we can just be there to help with morning or bedtime routines.
If you currently receive support from other organisations, such as Social Services, Local Authorities or charitable bodies, we are able to work in partnership with them to ensure a consistent approach to your child’s care is adopted.
We are able to offer anything from one-hour daily visits to longer shifts throughout the day, all the way up to 24/7 live-in care. We can offer care on a regular basis, or on a respite care basis.
Many families benefit greatly from having the one-to-one care and attention that our children’s care at home service provides, something that they may struggle with asking family with other commitments to help with.
More time for the rest of the family – we understand that as a parent your child’s needs are more important than yours. However, sometimes we ignore our significant other, our other children, family and friends unintentionally. With the support of our children’s carers, you will have more time for them without feeling guilty about not focusing on your child with additional needs.
Feel more like parent than a carer – with our children’s care support you can once again feel more like a parent than a carer. We understand that sometimes you need to put emotions to one side and do what is needed to be done. With the support we provide you don’t need to put that wall again.
A shoulder to lean on – our carers will support and help you with daily tasks for your child’s needs so that you won’t feel overwhelmed at the end of the day. We will take the pressure off your shoulders.
