The scale of the requirement for mental health care is vast. The NHS (Mental Health Task Force 2016) have estimated that up to one in four of the general population suffer from at least one diagnosable form of mental illness each year. It is the largest single cause of disability … and it can happen to people in all walks of life, at all life stages and affects people to varying degrees of severity.
In recent times there has been a significant increase in publicity and awareness in terms of the size and scope of the problem and how mental health issues impact on those affected and their families and loved ones.
Care Matters provides specialist support for those living with a range of mental health illnesses. These include:
We also provide care to those with additional types of mental health issues including dementia and developmental disorders.

We understand individual needs are varied and unique. Our experienced, trained carers will tailor our care service entirely around you or your loved one’s requirements. Support can range from daily visits assisting with washing, dressing, shopping and general household duties… to providing temporary respite care cover, allowing primary carers to take some time off.
Our specialist, friendly team will take time to understand your needs and make a full assessment before creating a bespoke care plan that will be reviewed regularly.
