Whatever care, companionship or support you need, we are here to help...
Our Care Service
There may be many reasons why you are looking at care options. You may be looking for a friend, family member or yourself. You may find that a little support is needed with those tasks that are becoming more difficult, or because of restricted mobility through an accident or illness. It may be that your needs aren't just for personal care, you may need a companion and a housekeeper too.
Your needs may be short term, convalescent, respite or holiday care for example or more longer term.
Sunshine Care is a service provided primarily for the elderly, frail and people who are chronically sick or those with a physical disability. The service allows you or your loved one to have the same specialist care in your home as you would in a residential home.
We are able to care for those suffering from short-term memory loss or with physical problems that have difficulty getting around.
We can also care for younger members of the community who may have special care needs. This depends upon the nature of their needs and on the abilities of the care workers available.
Sunshine Care is also able to provide support to your present carer, who may be a member of your family, to enable them to have a short break or holiday.
