Our aim is to provide Person-centred support to the adults with needs which may include all or some of the following dependent on needs to improve the adult with needs’ overall well-being:
Personal Care
This might include getting up, washing, bathing, toileting, dressing, preparing meals and snacks, helping take medication, helping with shopping and/or accompanying our client when they go shopping. The above is provided in the comfort of our clients own home in order to promote their dignity, comfort, security and safety, while promoting their independence as much as possible.
Practical Support

This may include shopping, menu planning, house-keeping, clerical, paying bills, escorting to appointments or to church, mosque, gym, activities, trips, etc. We also offer Take A break assistance for family members who need time to do things in the community, with the peace of mind that their loved one would continue to get support in their absence.
Social Support
To minimise risks of isolation which may include helping to access leisure services, education or employment opportunities; helping to keep contact with family; and keeping mobile and active within one’s own community. By promoting independence, choice and control while maintaining our clients safety at all times.
