Care Packages
The service
Individual packages are available to those who wish to buy into our trained support package. We offer this service to children, young people and adults. Our workers are trained in all aspects of epilepsy and first aid. We are happy to discuss additional training for our workers if there is a specific need identified to allow packages to be tailored to more complex individual requirements. We aim to match our service users to specific support workers. This allows for sickness, holiday and training cover while still offering continuity of service.
We aim:
- To support people with epilepsy who feel isolated to be included in society and play a part in their community.
