Calderdale sees a fair amount of snow over the winter months (and some in the early spring too!). The hilly, rural terrain means that roads and driveways can quickly become blocked by snowdrifts, and many households can find their only connecting route disappearing overnight. For most, this might be an inconvenience. For those who depend on care and support, it’s a serious problem.
Typically, after heavy snowfall, care agencies face nightmare scenarios as workers struggle to reach individuals scheduled for care. A flurry of panicked phone calls and message exchanges follows as agencies attempt the near-impossible task of meeting all care needs with an already-stretched workforce that has been reduced overnight due to snowbound homes and cars.
At Equal Care, however, the story is very different.
