Down syndrome support

Leading an active and fulfilling life is important. Our caregivers can help you do this by providing support at home and when you’re out in the community. Assisting with your physical and emotional development throughout the years.

Remaining close to your family and friends but being supported independently. This will give you the flexibility to make your own choices and remain in control of what you do. Something that is limited if you were to go into residential care.

Autism support 

As a development disorder, an individual with autism may have difficulty with social interactions. They can also show restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviour, with an intense focus on a particular interest. This can lead to relationship difficulties as well as education and work-related challenges. 

Our caregivers understand that someone with autism will have sensory and physical challenges. So, understanding what is required for each individual will be key to building an effective care package. 

Defining a daily routine that is strictly adhered to will help reduce anxiety. Whilst recognising a particular focus on a single aspect such as music, colours or computers. All these areas will be identified and built into your Care Plan.
