About Community Life Choices

We are Community Life Choices, a home care provider based in Preston, Lancashire. We support people in their own homes, which is where most people would far rather be, and our work is arranged around each person's own routine instead of asking them to fit around ours. The people we visit have a wide range of needs. We support adults living with dementia, and also those with a learning disability or autism, where the priority is often a familiar face, clear communication and support that builds confidence rather than taking over. We work with people who live with mental health conditions, where consistency and a trusting relationship make the greatest difference, and with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment, adapting how we communicate and how we assist so that dignity and independence are kept intact. We also support people affected by alcohol or drug misuse, without judgement and at the pace they set. Practically, our support can mean help with personal care, medication, meals, getting out into the community, or simply reliable company at a difficult time. We try hard to send the same small group of workers to each person, because relationships matter more than checklists. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take that seriously as a starting point rather than a finish line.
