About Domiciliary Service

We support adults in their own homes in Chorley and the surrounding area, working mainly with adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. Our starting point is what somebody wants their own life to look like, and then working out what support makes that possible rather than what is simplest to arrange. In practice that might mean help with personal care, cooking, shopping, laundry and keeping on top of a household. It might mean support with appointments, money and paperwork. Often it is about being a steady presence while a person does something for themselves that they would find daunting alone, and stepping back as soon as that is right. We take time to understand how each person communicates and what helps them feel comfortable, because support that ignores those things rarely works however well meant it is. We should be straightforward about inspection. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to explain that away. We know what was identified, we are working through it, and we would much rather you asked us directly what has changed than found out later that we had been vague. If you are considering support at home in this area, please get in touch and judge us on the answers you get.
