Brotherhood Community Care
About the service
Brotherhood Community Care Southern and Brotherhood Community Care Northern provide care packages to people needing assistance to live at home, and those who care for them.
The services we offer range from assistance with daily needs, such as personal care, shopping and meals, through to home nursing and specialist health services.
Our care packages are designed to meet individual needs. Each client is assigned a dedicated care manager who works with them, and others involved in their care, to plan and coordinate their package. Packages are constantly reviewed to ensure clients are receiving the best level of care possible.
