About West DCA

We provide support in people's own homes and communities across west Hampshire, working from Fareham. We support older people needing help with daily living, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, people with a physical disability, people whose sight or hearing is impaired and younger adults building independence at home. Our starting point is that support should make somebody's own life possible rather than take it over. For some people that means help with personal care, medication and daily routines. For others it means practical assistance with cooking, budgeting, correspondence and appointments. For others again it means somebody alongside them at college, at work, at a club or simply getting out and about. Where people have a physical disability we take the time that moving and transfers properly require, using the right equipment and explaining as we go. Where sight or hearing is impaired we keep belongings exactly where they are expected and check we have been understood. For the autistic people we support, clear communication and notice of change do most of the work. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support at home in this area.
