About Branch

We provide care and support in people's own homes across Oxford and the surrounding area. We work with a wide range of adults, and the purpose is always the same: enough support, arranged the way the person wants it, for life at home to keep working. For older people we help with personal care, medication, meals, housework, shopping and getting out and about, and we raise changes in appetite, mood or steadiness early rather than waiting to be asked. For people living with dementia we keep the same care workers visiting, follow the routine that already exists and leave the home as the person knows it. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, where the emphasis is on independence: cooking, budgeting, travelling locally, keeping appointments, and staff who understand how a person communicates. For adults with mental health needs we offer reliability and respectful company rather than a long list of tasks. We help people with a physical disability to move safely and manage at home, and where somebody has sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate and explain what we are doing. Younger adults are supported around their own lives. Support is planned with the person and reviewed as needs change. Our staff are trained for the people they actually visit. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss support at home here.
