CASS - Carers Active Support Service

CASS - Carers Active Support Service

Managed by Kim Upstill working part-time on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

The service provides Respite Care for Carers, but can also provide Companionship to those living alone or in isolation.

The sitters, who have all been CRB checked, are a wonderful group of kind, capable, warm and understanding people. Together they cover the Winchester Area, which has the same boundaries as Adult Services and the NHS. However, the aim is to extend these boundaries.

Access to the service is as simple as a telephone call to The Carers Together Office. You do not have to go through Adult Services (Social Services).

There are no eligibility criteria, only one of need. There are no client or carer assessments. There is no financial assessment, however there is a charge of £8.50 an hour but with no restriction on the number of hours received.

Please be advised that this is not a hands-on service, so no personal care can be undertaken.

We are so aware of how people’s lives are changed when they become a Carer. This service allows Carers to leave their cared-for, with peace of mind and confidence.

Please feel free to contact Kim about any help you may need. Telephone 01794 519495 and leave a message or Email: cass@carerstogether.org.uk or kim.upstill@carerstogether.org.uk

In the meantime please look at THE LEAFLET
