Together we make a difference Lifeline & Home Care Services In 2003, a er being established by Peter Molyneux and his team and run for many years by Age Concern, the Lifeline service was passed to Eastleigh Community Services to allow for expansion and help more people remain in their own homes and be independent.
Now over 800 people have a telephone alarm linking them to a friend or carer should the need arise. We are also able to offer those people who no longer have a local contact someone happy to be on standby. The team can, in addi on, fit key safes to enable those without keys 24/7access.
In 2017 we introduced a wristband service for those more mobile who wished to be confident when out and about, that should they need assistance it is just a telephone call away.
This service sits alongside our other Home Care Services of Mops and Shops (cleaning, shopping and regular support) and Care and Respite, giving carers a much needed break knowing our trained staff are with their loved one.
