My fondest memory is of my very old (100+ years) Client's face lighting up on my arrival - she never could remember my name but she would clasp my hand and say "I'm so glad you're here"... and I knew then that I made a difference in her life.

What we do
Specifically, EFM provides:• assistance with the tasks of daily living: shopping, housework, personal cares, laundry, meals, transport, social activities; • one-on-one support / companionship / outings for people in residential care; • respite care to enable the main carer for a loved one to have a break; • short-term support for people recuperating after a stay in hospital; • help for people with stroke, or progressive illness at any stage; • one-off services e.g. accompanying and/or transporting a person to an appointment. We have learnt over the years that the following three categories provide a continuum of care reflecting increasingly complex care arrangements as needs change.
Our Clients often come to us while they are still very independent. For example:
By becoming EFM Clients early they develop the relationships for the day when they may need more complex care arrangements to stay at home. If you are looking for peace of mind contact us to talk about your situation and options available to you. |
