The scheme is administered locally by a Board of Directors, comprising of representatives from the medical and nursing professions, the social work department, caring organisations and carers themselves and interested individuals, all of whom give of their time and expertise in a voluntary capacity.
The day to day operation is handled by the manager and her assistants, whose duty it is to take and examine all referrals from any source.. Having assessed the particular need, they allocate care attendants to provide relief at any time during the day, evening or even overnight, should the client require this, or should the caring person be in need of a full night’s rest.
The Care attendants work flexible hours to provide the assistance when it is most needed. Crossroads credibility lies in the calibre and training of its staff, regular team meetings, support and supervision.
