Our team of Angels support several clients with Parkinson’s. Like many progressive diseases a Parkinson’s diagnosis can be a shock as you may now face an uncertain future and may have to make adaptations to your lifestyle. There is support available, however Parkinson’s is not as widely understood as some other diseases, and so here at Visiting Angels Fylde Coast we are helping our clients and their families navigate through this.
There is a friendly and wonderful Parkinson’s drop in group offering advice and support at The Bedford Hotel, St Annes. This group has been going for nearly 30 years and the volunteers are absolutely incredible 🥰 they work hard ensuring people feel safe and welcome, offering friendship and reassurance. We went to meet them last week and took some goody bags and listened to how the volunteers dedicate their time to build a network in the local area, who can support each other on their individual journeys.

If you need help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability or care for someone regularly because they’re ill, elderly or disabled, including family members, you may benefit from care at home, provided by companies like Visiting Angels Fylde Coast.

Having a carer come to visit you in your home can make a huge difference to your life, especially if you have difficulty walking or getting around. It can help you stay living independently in your own home. Homecare is very flexible. You might need a carer for only an hour a week or for several hours a day, or at night. The team at Visiting Angels are expert in working with you to create a care plan to tailor home care to suit you, with carers that you choose.

As a general rule, if you have less than ÂŁ23,250 in savings and investments, your care will be paid for partly or in full by the council. Everybody has the right to choose your own care provider, the process is very simple, you just ask for Direct Payments. Here at Visiting Angels Fylde Coast we support several clients via Direct Payments, and they feel assured that they are receiving premium quality care from a local, reputable, family owned company.
