About the service
At Civicare (Beds, Herts & Bucks) Ltd, our Sitting Service offers short-term, planned care and supervision, giving unpaid carers the confidence to take a well-deserved break, run errands, or attend appointments, knowing their loved one is in safe, caring hands.
Our service goes beyond basic supervision. While ensuring the cared-for person's safety and wellbeing, our sitters actively engage them with companionship and meaningful activities tailored to their interests, whether that's chatting over a cup of tea, playing games, doing puzzles, reading together, light arts and crafts, listening to music, going for a gentle walk, or simply enjoying their favourite TV programme together. Our aim is to bring warmth, reassurance, and a bit of joy to every visit, not just presence.
Sits typically take place in the person's own home or another agreed safe setting, and are flexible to suit the carer's schedule, from a couple of hours to support a shopping trip, to longer sits covering appointments or social outings.
