WELCOME TO PEMBROKESHIRE CROSSROADS

Are you caring for a family member or friend who needs your support because of illness or disability? Carers, like everyone else, need a break to re-charge their batteries.

 

MISSION STATEMENT

Pembrokeshire Crossroads promotes, offers, supports and delivers high quality services for Carers and people with care needs.

 

WHO IS A CARER

A Carer may be a friend, neighbour or relative who is providing unpaid and regular support to someone with care needs,  either within the same household or living elsewhere, who would not be able to manage without that help.  The person with care needs may be elderly, have a long term illness or disability.

THE ETHOS AND PHILOSOPHY OF CROSSROADS

• Carers need regular planned time away from their caring responsibilities
• Crossroads works in partnership with the carer
• Crossroads acknowledges and values the expertise of the carer
• Care is holistic and not task based
• The service is tailored to the needs of individual carers and people with care needs
• Crossroads offers real choices
• Care should be of the highest quality, i.e. reliable, consistent and flexible, delivered by the same Carer Support Worker
