"My Community Warden is an 'all-sorts' person: someone who can fill your bird feeder, make you a hot cup of tea, read your post, arrange a GP appointment; done always with the utmost grace and generosity of spirit. You may just need to talk...about 'all-sorts'. I would be poorer in my later years without her!" Edna (85)

Do you or a loved one need support to live independently at home?

The Community Warden Service assists older people to continue to live independently and safely at home by providing daily contact and support (Monday to Friday), either by a personal visit or telephone call, ensuring a sense of security and wellbeing. This is a chargeable service; however, you can take advantage of a 2-week free trial to see whether it meets your needs.

Please see our service leaflets

Additional information regarding the Community Warden Service:

As stated, this is a chargeable service. For only £75 per calendar month, we can support you. There is a slightly higher charge of £92 per calendar month if you are a couple. You are welcome to try the service for 2 weeks free-of-charge.

It is important to note that the warden is not a domestic home help or a carer providing physical care. The Community Warden is employed and paid by Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and must not undertake tasks for you on a private basis.

Why not listen to an older person already using the service and how she is benefiting from it!
