When to choose supported living
Supported living care is perfect for you if you are living with a disability and need extra support with day-to-day life. Our supported living care is designed so you can keep your independence within the home you love in Suffolk and live life on your terms. Our expert disability care can help with several disabilities including Down’s Syndrome, brain injuries, Parkinson’s and more. We understand that everyone has a different variation of their disability, and their needs are unique to them. Tailoring our care approach to our customer’s individual needs is something we’re very serious about.
Expert care services tailored to your needs
Our expert carers are well-trained in how to support people with disabilities. They are also superb at helping with the day-to-day tasks that you may struggle with. We can provide help with general housekeeping, preparing healthy and delicious meals, running errands or even helping you walk your pets daily. We know that you may need support with cooking and cleaning, and we’re more than happy to step in with our assistance. We can provide live-in care for full-time support, or visiting care for scheduled visits, as well as respite care for temporary care.
Qualified carers providing supported living in Suffolk
Our carers are all qualified and DBS checked to make sure they’re the best men and women for the job. They are trained by registered nurses to provide expert nursing care. We can help with medication administration, catheter and stoma care, PEG feeding and much more. We also will help with a daily routine for you that encourages you to pursue your hobbies and interests and get out and about in the Suffolk community. Having a disability doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a bustling social life if needed, and we’ll make reasonable adjustments to make sure you get to spend time with friends and family.
