About Squirrels

Squirrels is a home care agency supporting adults in and around Aylsham in Norfolk in their own homes. We plan support around how a person actually wants to live rather than around a standard package, and we keep the same workers with the same people wherever we can. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, often with a focus on building confidence and taking on more independently rather than having things done for them. We work with people managing mental health conditions, where reliability and being genuinely listened to matter as much as any practical task, and with people living with a physical disability, where good support is mostly about making daily life workable again. We also support people with sight or hearing loss, where small sensible adjustments can change how connected someone feels to what is going on around them. Working in a rural area has its complications, and we would rather be honest about timings than promise something we cannot deliver. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would rather state that plainly. Until then, judge us on the practical things, whether we arrive when we said we would, whether we ring when something has to change and whether we are straight with you about what we can offer.
