About Us
Crossroads (Lewis) provides practical help to any carer, regardless of age, disability or illness of the person being cared for.
Carers can recieve regular support at a time they choose. The aim is to give carers peace of mind to relax, socialise, go to church, attend appointments, pursue a hobby, do some shopping, or just relax.
Crossroads (Lewis) aims to prevent carers from becoming ill through exhaustion and therefore unable to carry on caring, by providing the same care as that provided by the family.
Crossroads (Lewis) accepts referrals from carers looking after people of all ages, whatever their needs, who are living on the Isle of Lewis.

Carers and people with care needs will be supported in exercising self-determination, making choices and maintaining their independence.
Crossroads is committed to responding to the diversity of needs presented and developing appropriate quality services. These will be flexible to meet the needs of each carer and person with care needs.
