Crossroads Lewis

Our service is personalised, responds to individual circumstances, and supports carers to maintain their caring role. We aim to prevent carers becoming ill through exhaustion by giving them a break while we provide the care they normally give including palliative cases. Those living alone are given companionship, helped to avoid isolation and encouraged in independence all important in a rural area. By preventing further stress and illness, unnecessary hospital or residential care admission is avoided and service users find encouragement and the will to carry on.
