We have many exciting challenges ahead for us, particularly with the re-brand of Crossroads and with effect from 3^rd August 2009; Nationally Crossroads will be known as Crossroads Care.  Our new working name will be Crossroads Care Cheshire West & Wirral. 

We can provide a trained carer support worker to look after the person you care for at home, to enable
you to have a break. The amount of time we can offer can be varied to meet your needs and may be on either a regular weekly or planned basis, or just occasionally, for example to attend an appointment or a special social  event. We provide support in lots of different ways and for lots of reasons. These can include: help with personal care/hygiene, help to prepare meals/feeding, help with accessing local community activities, assistance with  medications.

Due to our close working partnerships with the Children’s and Young Peoples Departments in Cheshire West & Wirral we are able to continue offering valuable support to young people and their families as they go  through the transition from Children’s to Adult Services continuing to provide a continuity of care. This may be in the form of home visits, outings or when a staff member accompanies the young person to specific venues such as group activities.

Through our palliative care work we support families – carer and the person with care needs – at a time of great stress and varied need. Those needs range from the strictly practical to the highly emotional and we at Crossroads Care recognise that and provide appropriately trained and supportive staff suited to best meet those needs.
