Support that follows the person, not the placement

Learning disability support

Support levels that follow the person, from light touch to intensive.

A learning disability is a neurologically-based impairment affecting how someone processes information. It can affect time planning, organisation, abstract reasoning, and long and short term memory. Our support level varies with the individual: some people manage well with a little help, others need professional and intensive support throughout their life. We design a tailored care plan for each person and involve them in activities that build learning, understanding, confidence and self-esteem.

Autism care and support

Help with communication and social interaction, on the person's own terms.

Autistic people can find engaging with others difficult, and understanding non-verbal cues can be a challenge. We help individuals understand verbal and non-verbal communication and encourage them into discussions where they can practise communicating and interpreting other people's responses. Where speech is difficult we provide the support needed so confidence is not lost. Every case of autism is different, so support is built around education, social life and vocational skills as each person needs them.

Mental health support

Twenty-four-hour support, with clinical supervision from a mental health nurse.

One in four people in the UK has a mental health problem at some point, affecting daily life, relationships and physical health. Our mental health team supports people with anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, trauma-related disorders including PTSD, learning disabilities and autism spectrum disorder. Much of the work is about accessing the community — shopping, getting outdoors, a coffee at a favourite café. Our staff are qualified to provide behavioural support, and our mental health nurse provides clinical supervision.

Physical disability support

Personal care, mobility, medication and healthcare coordination at home.

We work with you, your family and your healthcare providers to build a personalised plan. Support includes personal care such as bathing, dressing and grooming; mobility support including transfers and positioning; meal planning, grocery shopping and preparation; managing and administering medication; coordinating with healthcare providers to attend appointments and follow treatment plans; and guidance on adaptive equipment and technology.
