From our base on Caerleon Road in Newport, we lend a hand with housework, laundry, home-cooked meals, shopping and errands, garden tidying and, most of all, good company — for people across Newport and Caerleon who would like a bit of regular, friendly support.
Every home is different, so every visit is shaped around the person and the house. These are the things we most often lend a hand with — always at an unhurried, friendly pace.
Hoovering, dusting, changing beds, bathroom and kitchen spick and span.

Jen or a member of the family pops round — or rings if easier — to hear what would genuinely help and what a good week looks like for you.
We agree the days, times and tasks together and put it on paper, so everyone knows where they stand and nothing is assumed.
The same helper comes each visit, at an easy pace, with time built in for a natter as well as the jobs on the list.
A quick word with family after visits when wanted, and the plan is reviewed regularly so it still fits as life changes.
Whether it is a shepherd's pie like your mother made, a pan of cawl on a grey South Wales afternoon, or something light and simple, we cook in your kitchen with the ingredients you choose — and we always leave it tidy afterwards.
“Mum looks forward to Thursdays more than anything. The house is lovely, but it is the company she talks about all week.”— A family we visit in Caerleon
There is no obligation and nothing to sign on the spot. Just a friendly conversation with Jen about what a good week looks like for you or someone you love.
