How this support is personalised
Care is based on the individual's goals, preferred way of doing things and agreed support plan. We do things with people, not for them — and the plan reflects what independence means to that person.
What families can expect
Support workers understand that the person is the expert in their own life. Families and professionals can expect the plan to be followed — and spoken up about if it should change.
How the service starts
Every support plan begins with a conversation and an assessment. We listen first, agree the plan with you before care begins, and review regularly so support keeps fitting the person. See how arranging care works.
