About Second to None Care

Second to None Care provides support at home for people across Durham and the surrounding parts of County Durham. We support a wide range of needs, and what holds the work together is building support around the individual rather than fitting them into something ready made. We support people living with dementia, where familiar rooms and routines already carry so much weight, and we work with adults who have a learning disability and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability, and people who have sight or hearing loss. Our team also supports people living with an eating disorder and people affected by alcohol or drug misuse, work that depends on consistency, patience and an absence of judgement more than on anything else. Support is agreed with the person, includes what they would rather do for themselves, and is reviewed as circumstances change. We aim to send familiar carers, because trust is what allows somebody to be honest about how they are really getting on. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are a professional making a referral, or looking into support for yourself or a relative, please get in touch and we will talk it through plainly.
