About 1st Enable
1st Enable Cheshire East is a home care agency based in Crewe, supporting adults in their own homes across the area. We work with older people and younger adults, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. A good deal of our work is aimed at independence rather than at doing things for people. For a younger adult that might mean support with cooking, shopping, money, appointments and keeping a tenancy going, or help to get out and use local facilities. For an older person it is more often personal care and the parts of the day that have become difficult. Both matter, and they are not the same job. Where the aim is independence, success usually means somebody needing less from us over time. It is easy for an agency to drift into doing things for people because it is quicker, and we try to notice when that is happening. Support is agreed with each person in language they can follow, and revisited when circumstances change. Where somebody communicates without speech, we learn how they do it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are arranging support at home in this part of Cheshire, please get in touch.
