When someone you love needs a little more support, knowing where to begin can be difficult. Care Compass offers a helpful starting point for older people, families and carers across Cumbria.
We are preparing a short video to introduce Care Compass and explain how families across Cumbria can start exploring their options.
Video coming soon. In the meantime, you can explore Care Compass using the button below.
Explore Care Compass →You may be planning ahead for yourself, helping an ageing parent, or facing a sudden change after a hospital stay. Care Compass helps you begin exploring your circumstances and the choices worth considering.
It is a starting point for an informed conversation — not a substitute for a professional care assessment.
Start with Care Compass ↗There is no single answer that suits every person. The right arrangement depends on care needs, personal preferences, home circumstances and available support.
Carers visit at agreed times to assist with everyday tasks, personal care, meals, medication support and companionship. A useful option when someone wants to remain at home but needs regular help.
A carer stays in the home, providing ongoing presence and agreed support. It may suit people who need more continuity than occasional visits, while wishing to remain in familiar surroundings.
Day services can offer company, activities, meals and a change of scene, while giving family carers time for work, appointments or rest.
A care home can offer accommodation, meals, day-to-day support and companionship in a staffed setting. Specialist dementia support may also be relevant for some families.
If you are uncertain, start by writing down the person's current difficulties, preferences and the questions you want answered. Care Compass can help you begin that conversation.
Explore the free guide ↗Visit Care Compass and consider the support that might be needed now or in the future.
