Sitting Service

This service is offered to clients who have a permanent carer, but who need additional support during the day to allow the main carer a break, or time to attend to other responsibilities. It can be for any period of time from 30 minutes to a few hours, and usually takes the form of light duties or just companionship. This service is usually available during the hours of 7.30am until 10pm.

Continuing Care

There are circumstances in which a client wishes to stay at home as an alternative to hospital or a residential home, but in which they will need a higher level of care for the rest of their lives. Care is managed by a medical professional, for example the District Nurse. In these situations, DACCS offers a support service to individuals allowing them to retain their independence if at all possible, and to preserve their dignity while in their own home environment. Although DACCS carers can’t provide a full nursing service, they can give medication and change dressings under the instructions of the District Nurse, and provide any care recommendations by the medical officer.
