Caldmore is immediately south of Walsall town centre, around Caldmore Green and Caldmore Road, in the WS1 district. It is a close-knit area of terraces, flats and family houses, with shops and places of worship within a short walk and the town centre just to the north. People here often have family nearby in Pleck, Highgate or Palfrey, and the enquiry usually comes from a son or daughter who is already calling in but cannot cover every morning. Others come after a stay at Walsall Manor Hospital, when the person is medically fit to leave and the house needs a reliable visiting carer before that can happen safely.

Our Walsall office on Hatherton Street manages Caldmore, which keeps the coordinators close to the rounds they are organising. Carers are employed directly. We introduce the people who will actually visit, and we try to keep that group stable so the relationship is with a person rather than a rota of strangers. Morning calls for washing and dressing, lunchtime calls, and an evening call to settle someone are the pattern we see most. If the family needs the time moved because of a hospital appointment or a prayer time, the office changes the round rather than asking the household to fit around us.

Caldmore is one of the areas where a short visit can be the right answer and a long one the wrong one. We do not advertise a minimum length. The assessment is a conversation in the home about what the person can still do and what they want help with. Personal care, meals, medication prompts, companionship and respite for the family carer are all available, and live-in care can be arranged if the nights are no longer safe. We are not a nursing agency. District nurses and the GP remain responsible for clinical care, and we work to the plan they and the family agree. The assessment is free and happens in the house. Call 0330 056 3111 and say Caldmore, or send the form, and the Walsall office will ring you back. You do not have to decide on the phone.
