Help Keep an Older Person Safer

Did you know? While cold calling itself is allowed, traders must respect "No Cold Callers" notices - it's actually against the law if they don't! As a dedicated home care provider since 1980, Able Community care has made it their mission to help protect older and disabled people in the community. They are proud to have distributed over 250,000 of these protective stickers since 2019.

Do you know of someone who would like to receive one of these? If so, call us on 01603 764567.
