Find out more about Symponia

Shears

We know that selecting the right type of care can seem like an overwhelming task, especially when the decision needs to be made in a hurry. Could the person stay in their own home and obtain some form of support, or should they move somewhere more suitable?

When faced with such a dilemma, we know that there are a number of complex issues to consider and decisions to make, many with emotional, practical and financial consequences. And finding someone to help work through these and enable you to make informed decisions can be difficult.

Symponia is pleased to be working alongside Shears, a company that also echoes our own commitment to compassion, empathy and personal face-to-face contact.

Based in Hertfordshire, Shears provides information, advice and practical support for older people and their families, and serves as a ‘one-stop shop’ bringing everything together under one roof. As such, Shears offers reassurance and a helping hand through the whole decision making process and makes the experience a simpler, quicker and more positive one.

Shears believes that individuals and/or their families are best placed to make those all important decisions. So whether people want everything organised or are just looking for advice, Shears will tailor their service accordingly, and do as much or as little as is required.

Services are divided into:

  • Home Support - for people wanting to remain in their present home;
  • Relocation Services - for people wanting to move house - e.g. downsizing, moving into sheltered accommodation or into a care home.

Shears offers a free initial consultation and prides itself on a service which is caring, confidential and independent.
