Washing

Everyone deserves to feel clean and well-groomed. It’s essential in maintaining confidence, self-esteem and general physical health. Regular washing helps protect the skin and prevent serious infections from spreading. As advocates for holistic health care, we believe that basic daily tasks such as this are important for both the physical body and the mind and if done well, lead to a more fulfilling life.

We assist with:

  • Washing and bathing
  • Changing continence aids
  • Help with grooming, such as shaving or hair brushing

Medicine

For many, regular medication is essential for a healthy, happy lifestyle. We help those who are unable to self medicate to take their required medication safely and faithfully.

We assist with:

  • Safe taking of medicine in the correct dosage
  • Routine taking of medication
  • Administering medication

Morning and Evening Routines

Morning and evening routines are an essential part of health. Not only are regular routines healthy for our general wellbeing, but the basic tasks we usually perform at these parts of the day are usually vital to our physical health.

We assist with:

Morning routines:
  • Getting out of bed
  • Making breakfast
  • Bed making
  • Getting dressed
  • Any other hygiene tasks that are required
Evening routines:
  • Making supper

I would just like to express our thanks for the care that is being provided for our mother. When she came out of hospital last year we had great difficulty finding an agency to provide the care she needed, then luckily social services gave us your number.

You came to visit us the next day and arranged to start the next week, it was such a weight off our minds. Now after 6 months we know that she is safe and getting the extra helps she needs with daily tasks. She looks forward to the days when Sharda visits, she says she is a breathe of fresh air, always on time and flexible and treats her as a friend.

We would recommend your agency to other families for the professional yet friendly care you provide.

Thank you for giving us peace of mind.

Amanda and Rosemary have provided fantastic care to my mother -in law. We had a gap in the care plan and they were able to provide care at short notice. When we have to extend this further , again they were brilliant and provided further cover. it was a very stressful time for the family and they took all the stress away. My mother-in-law has advanced dementia and requires personal care and social activities. Apollo quickly formed a good relationship with her ,picking up on her likes and dislikes and getting her involved in activities that engaged her interest e.g. walks in the park, visit to a museum and going to church. Apollo also provided excellent personal care and ensured my mother in law was well groomed every day. They have been brilliant.

Thanks to all at Apollo for everything you have done for my mother. My mother is not always the easiest of person to look after but you have cared for her with a superb combination of kindness, compassion, and dignity for which I and my sisters will be forever grateful. Thank you for always going the extra mile.

TC Family

Thank you for all your invaluable contribution to ensuring our mum and dad had the best quality life that they could have whilst living in their flat. Care staff like yourselves do great and often under-appreciated work for the older people in our society. We want to acknowledge this and say thanks!

M Family

We would like to thank you and your excellent carers, for the care you provided our father in his final few months of his life. We found the carers to be compassionate, caring and so thoughtful. It certainly made a difference to us and to dad.

DW Family

It is difficult to find the right words to thank you and your colleagues enough for all you have done for mum. Mum was very reluctant to accept support but with your sensitive, caring approach she came to recognise that you enhanced her independence. Without this support she would not have been able to stay in her home of 64 years. Mum felt that the carers coming in were more like her friends.
