A BLACKBURN-BASED care company is launching a ‘weekly care check’ service to help families check on elderly or vulnerable relatives.
The initiative is being put in place by Choice Care in a bid to provide a flexible and affordable service. As part of the scheme, carers would ‘pop in’ to see those in need of support.
Andrew Key, the company’s director, said: “We are a business with a heart and want to be here to help our local communities, and see a thriving community in which our elderly are a part of.
“In some cases they become secluded or isolated especially if their family are not close by.
“If we can support those who are unable to get funding, just a little while a week for a cuppa and a chat, it can make a big difference in their lives.”
