Care Support has been providing care and support to people for over 20 years. Originating in the homecare sector, it has now developed into a specialist extra care provider, delivering personalised care and support to over 800 units of extra care in the South East and continuing to grow.
The management team at Care Support passionately believes in the benefits of extra care and, wherever it is commissioned, Care Support stimulates vibrant community hubs that promote a way of life that gives people as many opportunities as possible to remain mentally and physically active, to enjoy later life to the full and to remain active and useful members of their communities.
How do we do this?
We do this by:
- training our staff to higher than CQC minimum standards and by including in that training specific training around enablement, self-determination and inclusive decision making – our staff have the confidence to help you to create your own care plan and to encourage you to design the support you need to help you to be as independent as possible.
- encouraging and expecting all staff to gain appropriate qualifications (QCF Social Care Levels 2 & 3) and providing ongoing additional and specialist training
