Why live-in care is a great alternative to a care home
Live-in care offers many advantages over residential care homes.
Stroke is one of the largest causes of disability in the UK, and one third of survivors are dependent on someone to care for them. At Trinity Homecare we have been caring for stroke survivors in their own homes for the past 20 years. Over that time we have seen just how much remaining at home, surrounded by familiarity and memories can give great reassurance and peace of mind. If you or your loved one has had a stroke and are keen to remain at home, one of our team would be happy to listen and understand your needs.
