COMMUNITY SERVICES

At The SKA Group, our Community Services - delivered through Carelink - are designed to support adults with learning disabilities and older people in leading independent, fulfilling lives. Whether at home or out in the community, we provide flexible, person-centred care that promotes dignity, connection, and wellbeing every step of the way.

POWERED BY CARELINK

At The SKA Group, we believe everyone deserves access to care that supports not just their needs, but their lifestyle and community connection.

Carelink is our community-based service, tailored for:

Adults with Learning Disabilities (18–65)
Older People (65+)

HOME CARE SERVICES

COOKING & MEAL PREP

We assist with planning and preparing nutritious, tasty meals that suit individual preferences, cultural needs, and dietary requirements. Whether it’s cooking from scratch, reheating meals, or offering a helping hand during mealtimes, our carers ensure that every client enjoys food that supports their health and wellbeing.

CLEANING & LAUNDRY

A clean, tidy home is essential for comfort and peace of mind. Our carers support with light housekeeping tasks such as vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, changing bed linen, and doing laundry - all tailored to what the individual needs, at a pace that suits them.

PERSONAL
CARE

We provide respectful, discreet assistance with personal hygiene routines, including washing, bathing, dressing, toileting, and grooming. Our approach prioritises dignity and comfort, helping individuals feel confident and cared for every day.

administering MEDICATION

Our carers are trained to support with medication in line with care plans - whether that means administering prescribed medication or providing timely reminders to ensure nothing is missed. We work closely with families, pharmacies, and health professionals to ensure safe, consistent care.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH SERVICES

SHOPPING & ERRANDS

Our carers offer support with everyday tasks such as grocery shopping, collecting prescriptions, or running local errands. Whether we're accompanying someone or handling tasks on their behalf, we make sure essentials are taken care of - safely, reliably, and with a friendly face.

1-1 SUPPORT FOR OUTINGS

We provide individualised support for hobbies, interests, and social events. Whether it's a walk in the park, joining a local group, or attending a class, our carers are there to encourage engagement, build confidence, and make everyday experiences more enjoyable.

ATTENDING APPOINTMENTS

From GP visits to dental check-ups, we ensure clients never feel alone or overwhelmed when it comes to attending important appointments. Our carers provide transport assistance, emotional support, and clear communication with professionals as needed.

FRIENDSHIP VISITS

A short visit or a friendly chat can make a big difference. Our companionship service includes regular home visits and check-in phone calls to help reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation, offering comfort, conversation, and genuine connection.

CHECK-INS

For those who may not need a full visit, our regular check-in calls offer a simple but meaningful way to stay connected. These calls provide reassurance, monitor wellbeing, and remind individuals that someone is always looking out for them.

TAILORED SUPPORT

No two people are the same. That’s why we offer flexible, personalised support plans shaped around each person’s lifestyle, goals, and preferences. From unique routines to specific health or social needs, we build our care around what matters most to the individual.
