02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Crossroads Care Harris provides respite care in the home to carers of ill, elderly and people with disabilities. Crossroads Care Harris also supports vulnerable people living alone in isolated circumstances. Respite care is achieved by putting a trained care attendant into the home to take over the caring responsibilities of the carer. Harris is sparsely populated and has an ageing population so there are many people living alone who are no longer able to drive and are isolated. Support for people living alone ranges from providing company and stimulation, providing transport and company to go to Day Care, activities, events, medical and dental appointments, shopping, banking. Emergency overnight care is also provided to avoid someone living alone being unnecessarily admitted to hospital. Night care can also be provided at end of life to allow someone to remain at home.
