A break for family carers
Our carers don’t give injections, dress wounds or administer insulin.

For everything else, talk it through with your care manager.
They’ll tell you plainly what a carer can take on.
“We use UIH for night care for our Mam. The staff have been fantastic, it is very personal and she is comfortable with her carers.”
“I was able to get cover at short notice for a week and the lady sent was caring and attentive. I will use again.”
