About St. Christopher Care
St Christopher Care provides support to adults in their own homes in Dagenham and the surrounding part of Barking and Dagenham. We work with younger adults, adults with learning disabilities and autism, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss. Our work rests on a simple principle. It is the person's home and the person's life, and our role is to provide whatever support makes that workable while leaving as much as possible in their hands. In practice that means help with personal care and medicines where it is needed, and a good deal of time spent on the skills and routines that living independently asks for: cooking, shopping, managing money, keeping on top of letters and appointments, using transport, and coping with the things that go wrong in any household. It also means support to have an actual life. Seeing family and friends, getting to work, college, groups or activities, and making the everyday decisions other adults take for granted. Where somebody communicates in their own way, we learn how they do it. Where somebody has a physical disability or sight and hearing loss, we agree together how they want to be helped and approached. Where the day needs to be predictable, we keep it predictable. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
