Care & Repair Cardiff and the Vale is a registered charity (1162083).
The charity was set up in July 2015 due to a merger between Care & Repair in the Vale and Care & Repair Cardiff.
Our mission is to support older people to repair, adapt and maintain their homes. We do this so that all older people are able to live in safe, secure, warm and comfortable homes which suits them and their lives and maximises their independence.
We provide a number of services that support and help older people complete repairs, improvements and adaptations to their homes, through the provision of expert advice, support and practical assistance. We help older people with works ranging from very small items such as the repairing of a small water leak or the installation of handrails through to major jobs such as bathroom conversions or replacing a roof.
Key to our success in delivering our services is our commitment to providing and delivering holistic, problem-led services that are tailored according to the individual needs of older people.
Our vision is that all older people are able to live in safe, secure, warm and comfortable homes which suits them and their lives and maximises their independence.
Our vision defines how we want our organisation to be seen externally by clients, partners and funders. It is what we constantly strive to attain and it is our reason for being.
Our experienced and committed team visit older people at home listen to what they want and need and will then put together a package with support to make it happen.
The team provides advice on home repair and maintenance solutions, adaptations, security, home safety, falls prevention, fire safety, energy efficiency and possible sources of funding for completing works. Welfare benefits checks are also offered to maximise people incomes.
Technical expertise is given on building works including help to find a suitable tradesperson, help to plan works, get quotes, arrange contracts and monitor works while on site.
