Christmas Poem 2009
December 22nd, 2009Ice on the roads, tinsel on the tree,
Carers travel from home to home, as happy as can be.
The Clients bring them joy, as they greet them every morning,
Laughter and warmth is in the air, as Christmas Day is dawning.
As the Carers head home, they receive the greatest of gifts,
As each and every Client they visit, gives them an extra special lift,
They gain a feeling inside, to which no other can compare,
So a Merry Christmas to all
From Town and Country Care

Hoist Training
March 30th, 2009We had another sucessful Hoist Training session on Friday 27th March 09. Carers learnt the “ins and outs” of all Manual Handling techniques, using our in-house hoist, handling belt and slide sheets. For many of the new Carers this was their first Manual Handling session, whilst others attended for their 6 month refresher. The Carers said the training was “Helpful, informative and fun”, see our training page for some photos of the day.

After a week on Holiday in Bulgaria, it appears that there has been an equal amount of snow over here, if not more. It’s back to the old routine now, with many more interviews this week, and plans to expand to wider areas coming into action. We are looking to expand more into the Staithes and Hinderwell area as well Goathland and Glaisdale. If you are interested in our services then please do not hesitate to contact us.
