The Stay Put Project: Staying Put in Torbay

The Stay Put Project: Staying Put in Torbay

Allowing someone to stay in their own home for longer will, for many, mean additional support, but it may be something as simple as help with changing a light bulb, hanging up new curtains, turning a mattress or just putting out the bins. 

Additionally, someone may need a bit of help around the garden or indoors moving furniture or clearing out lofts and attics – all relatively simple tasks whilst you are fit and healthy, but less so as your mobility declines.
