Independent Living Assistance

Looking after Relatives

Living far away from elderly or infirm relatives can be a worry especially – if they find help hard to accept . Poppies aim to provide only the help that’s needed, when it’s needed.

People want to stay independent in their own home for as long as possible. We work with families so that, by agreement, Poppies can both provide help and keep relatives up to date.

Poppies Exeter can:

• Shopping, collecting prescriptions and general running around
• Ensure kitchen and bathroom(s) are clean and hygienic
• Cleaning the bedding and laundry. Where needed urine odour control.
• Defrost / clean fridges and freezers (and check sell-by dates)

Because individual priorities do change we take particular care with our selection of staff and frequency of supervision.

Please note. Poppies Exeter are not able to provide medical care.

With the need never higher to ensure homes are safe places to be staff have received extra training to follow our two-step “Clean then Sanitise” process to ensure that all services are provided to the highest standards of quality, hygiene and safety.

We will thoroughly clean all areas and then wipe high touch areas using a viricidal spray (provided by us) to complete the sanitising process. This two-stage approach lowers the risk of infection on higher risk areas such as:

• • Door handles
  • Cupboard handles
  • Light switches
  • TV remotes
  • Tables
  • Kitchen worktops, sinks, kettle, toaster, microwave etc.
  • Stair rails/banisters
  • All bathroom surfaces including the toilet
