Working with usFor care homes and professionals
Take Care is a small, local service for older people in Wootton and across Northampton. We bring activity afternoons to care homes and groups, and we welcome referrals from people who support older adults.
Activity afternoons
A themed hour of quizzes, music and memories, crafts and gentle games, brought to your lounge and led by Harry.
- For care homes, sheltered housing and community groups
- A new theme each month
- Enhanced DBS checked
- Everything supplied, nothing for your team to prepare
Plus materials. Ask for dates and themes.
Refer someone
For GP practices, social prescribing link workers, council and hospital teams, and local charities.
- The Friday Social Club in Wootton: £10, carers free
- Companionship visits and outings
- Accompanied appointments and home from hospital
- Care at home with Eloise, where she has space
Most people pay privately. A direct payment or personal budget can be used where the council agrees.
For employers
Staff who look after an older parent are often stretched thin. We're exploring a simple way for employers to help.
- A care navigation session for a member of staff
- Plain English guidance on local options and benefits
- Companionship for their relative
