Social and Assisted Visits - CRT Care Services

At CRT, we Offer Personalised Social and Assisted visits, supporting independence and well-being at home.

At CRT, we understand that sometimes a little extra support, or simply some friendly company, can make a big difference. Our social and assisted visits are designed to help you maintain your independence while enjoying meaningful interactions and practical assistance in the comfort of your own home.

Whether it’s help with light tasks, a walk to the local shop, or just a chat over a cup of tea, our Care Assistants are here to support your well-being and daily routine.

Why Choose Social & Assisted Visits

Stay In A Familiar Environment

We are here to help you maintain your independence while ensuring you receive the care and support you need. Our goal is to create a comfortable, familiar, and stress-free environment, allowing you to enjoy an enhanced quality of life, all without having to leave the home you know and love.

Highly Trained Professionals

We take great pride in our comprehensive, accredited training programme. Every new team member, regardless of prior experience, spends their first week learning the core values, standards, and practices that define our approach to care. This ensures that all our staff are fully equipped to deliver consistent, high-quality support you and your loved ones can rely on.

Personalised Care Packages

Receiving care at home offers dedicated, personalised support that is entirely focused on the individual’s unique needs and preferences. Unlike shared care settings, home care provides uninterrupted attention, allowing carers to manage symptoms, alleviate pain, and support emotional well-being with compassion, dignity, and respect.

Respect for Personal Routines and Wishes

Home care honours each individual’s values, preferences, cultural and religious practices, and personal choices about how they wish to spend their time, especially during later stages of life. This level of personalisation and respect is often more difficult to achieve in institutional care settings.

Time with Family and Loved Ones

Home-based care allows family and friends to spend meaningful time together without the limitations of strict visiting hours. It encourages greater involvement from loved ones, fostering a supportive and connected environment that enhances the overall care experience.

More information and FAQs

What are social and assisted visits?

Social and assisted visits are flexible, non-medical support services provided in your home. They focus on companionship and help with everyday tasks, such as light cleaning, preparing meals, errand running or simply enjoying a chat over a cup of tea. These visits are ideal for those who value independence but appreciate a little extra help and friendly company.

Can a Care Assistant help me run errands or go shopping?

Yes. Our Care Assistants can accompany you to the shops, help with your grocery list, or run errands on your behalf. Whether it’s picking up a prescription or doing the weekly shop, we’re here to make daily life easier and more manageable.

What kind of household tasks can be included in a visit?

During a social or assisted visit, Care Assistants can help with light domestic tasks such as hoovering, dusting, laundry, washing up, or changing bed linens. These tasks are designed to keep your home clean, safe, and comfortable, without taking away your independence.

How often can I arrange social or assisted visits?

Visits can be scheduled as often as you like, from once a week to several times a day. We’ll work with you to create a routine that fits your lifestyle and needs, and we can adjust the frequency at any time.

Are these visits suitable for people who live alone?

Absolutely. Social and assisted visits are especially beneficial for individuals who live alone and may feel isolated. Our Care Assistants provide not just practical help, but also meaningful companionship, helping to reduce loneliness and promote emotional well-being.
