Not a cleaner. Not a care agency. A focused bridge home.
Lisa's NHS background shapes the questions Bridgetohome asks and the risks it notices. The service itself stays firmly within domestic support: shopping, laundry, house preparation, welfare calls and signposting.
Clear Boundaries
No personal care, medication administration or clinical interventions.
