A little about working in our team
We help people stay at home and regain independence as well as restore their confidence.
We work flexibly with people to reach their goals over a typical 3-week period. At the end of this time the vast majority of people become fully independent or have regained a significant amount of their independence.
Our aim is to help people to:
- gain independence through the support of our multidisciplinary team
- regain the skills to live well at home
- find support for their individual needs relating to their physical disabilities, sensory loss, mental health problems or learning difficulties
