About First Option Support
First Option Support provides home care to people in Sidcup and across Bexley. We support older people, people living with dementia, people managing mental health conditions, people with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. Home care amounts to a series of short windows in somebody's day, and whether those windows help or intrude depends almost entirely on who arrives and how well they understand the household. That is where we put our effort. Before a package starts we sit down with the person and whoever they want present and ask the things that assessments often skip. What do you want to keep doing for yourself. What time does the day really need to begin. What makes a morning go badly. Who should we contact when something changes. Then we build the visits around those answers and keep the same faces going wherever the rota allows. Where sight or hearing is poor we adapt our communication properly. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, and we would ask people to judge us on how we turn up.
