A WINCHESTER home care provider has launched a new 24-hour service for the city, Alresford and Eastleigh.

Bluebird Care is extending its existing one-to-one service to offer round the clock help.

The company provides dedicated personal assistants as live-in carers to help people with needs such as washing, personal hygiene and mobility.

Norman Murphy, owner & managing director, said: “Our new 24 hour live-in care service really is the ultimate personal assistant for our customers and promotes our ethos of independent living in the comfort of your own home.

“It effectively removes the need for anyone to ever leave the home they love to go into a residential care home. No upheaval, no stress but a care service that works around your individual needs enabling you to remain in your own home surrounded by familiar family, friends and possessions.”
