Pramacare

Published: 3rd June 2008 16:54

Pramacare is a Dorset-based domiciliary care charity, which provides a range of professional home care services to local individuals in and around Bournemouth, Poole and East Dorset. Established in 1982, Pramacare has grown to support hundreds of people who, through illness, disability or old age, need practical help and care so that they can continue living independently at home.

Today, the organisation's team of care attendants provides over 2000 hours of home care each week. In addition over 1000 additional people regularly use its toenail cutting service.

No one looked after by Pramacare pays more than the actual cost of providing the care services they receive. And, thanks to ongoing fundraising in its charity shops and through donations from supporters, those on reduced incomes receive a subsidy, which reflects their financial situation.

Here's what some of Pramacare's clients and their families have to say:

  "As a daughter it's so reassuring to know that Mum is being looked after. When I see her with her care attendant I am so aware of the compassion and professionalism."

"I couldn't cope without Pramacare. They are lovely people. They looked after my husband until he passed away and now they are here for me."

"Thank you all for your friendly help during my recovery from surgery. Carers who came to help always were cheerful and friendly and encouraging during what has become a long slow and difficult period of time."
