About The Care Advantage

The Care Advantage provides care and support to adults in their own homes across Ilford and the surrounding parts of Redbridge. The people we visit have a wide range of needs. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions including eating disorders, people living with sight or hearing loss, and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug misuse. Some packages are a single call a day. Others involve several visits, or longer periods of support arranged around complex needs. Our calls cover personal care, medication, meals, shopping, laundry and help around the house, and for many people they also provide routine and reliable company. Where somebody is working towards greater independence, we plan for that rather than settling into a pattern that quietly does everything for them. Support begins with an assessment at home and a proper conversation. We want to know what already works, what has become difficult and what the person actually wants help with, and we write the plan from those answers instead of from a template. Continuity of carer is scheduled for rather than hoped for, and our staff are trained for the needs of the people they will actually be visiting. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support at home.
