About DCA Thornton Gate
We are a domiciliary care agency based at Thornton Gate in Thornton Cleveleys, Lancashire, and we support people in their own homes. Our work is with adults who have a learning disability and with autistic adults, with people managing mental health conditions, with people who have a visual or hearing impairment and with younger adults. Supporting someone in their own home takes a particular kind of attention. We need to know how a person communicates, especially at the times when they are anxious and words are harder to find. We need to know what their sensory needs are, which parts of the week are reliably difficult, and what actually helps when a day begins to go wrong. We learn that properly rather than guessing at it, and we write it down clearly so that everyone supporting the person works from the same picture. What our role looks like varies a great deal. For some it is practical help with cooking, budgeting, appointments and getting about. For others it is being reliably present at particular times. What does not vary is that we support people to do things rather than doing things to them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
