Life can send unexpected events our way as we all know. We all strive to look after ourselves, to keep fit and healthy as far as we can, but when we experience unforeseen changes in our health we may need some extra help with our care, recovery and recuperation. Very often we have the opportunity to plan things and the health service, together with the support of partners, family and friends can look after all our needs.

But sometimes extra help is required to provide the care at home that is needed, especially when events are unexpected or when family and friends need that extra bit of support as well.
