Support and care where and
when you need it most

Freedom Care provides a welfare service that cares for both the physical and mental well being of an elderly person, a sick person or someone with disabilities, meeting their physical, personal and domestic needs. Many agencies cover domestic needs only, but Freedom Care believe that a total care package involves genuine care – care that helps to combat loneliness and isolation, immobility and vulnerability – they believe that, whilst it is important to provide hygienic surroundings and food in the cupboard, it is just as important to provide companionship and kindness.

Many people are adamant that they do not wish to go into a nursing or residential home. On the Isle of Man this is a particular problem because some relatives may well not be located here, or alternatively, they may be employed in very busy jobs so their time is limited. Families often feel guilty and depressed that they cannot provide care for elderly or infirm relatives and remember ‘the good old days’ of extended families. They should also remember that the elderly relatives in these extended families often had to work and provide child care – it wasn’t as idealistic as it may seem – and we should not blame ourselves if we cannot help as much as we would like..
