About Shared Approach

Shared Approach provides support to people in their own homes in Garstang and the surrounding parts of Lancashire. We work with people living with dementia, people who have learning disabilities and autism, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. The name describes how we would like the work to go. Support planned with somebody rather than for them, decisions explained rather than announced, and a willingness to change an arrangement when the person tells us it is not working rather than when a review falls due. In practice our staff help with personal care, medication, meals, household tasks, appointments, travel and the ordinary business of keeping a home and a life going. We adapt how we communicate to suit each individual, because being properly understood is what makes choice real rather than theoretical, and we keep the group of staff visiting each household small so that relationships have a chance to form. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from people considering support for themselves, from families and from professionals looking for something that will hold up over time.
