Mobile Warden Scheme
Milton Parish Council has an extensive Community Care programme. Many older residents find this service invaluable. There are currently thirty clients on the Mobile Warden Scheme, each paying (as of October 2009) a token £4 per week.
The purpose of the Community Care Scheme is to help support elderly and/or infirm people in the village to enable them to remain in their own homes. The scheme aims to provide reassurance and security to the elderly and their relatives by ensuring that regular social contact is being made with them. Each member is contacted daily and receives at least one personal visit a week.
Our Community Care Warden is Tracey Ebbon (Tel 07518 026870). Her Assistant is Linda Harding (Tel 07858 141450).
If you would like to apply for a place on the Mobile Warden Scheme, please contact the Clerk's Office on 861447 or e-mail:
