About United Response - DCA
Here at United Response Cornwall DCA, we provide home care to people living in and around Truro, supporting individuals to stay in the comfort of their own homes whilst maintaining as much independence as possible. We work with a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We understand that inviting someone into your home to provide support is a significant decision, and we do not take that trust lightly. Our team works alongside the people we support and their families to understand what matters most to each person, shaping care around individual routines, preferences, and goals rather than fitting people into a one size fits all approach. Our most recent CQC inspection resulted in a "requires improvement" rating, and we want to be open about that. We have taken the findings seriously and have been working through a clear action plan to address the areas identified. We believe transparency matters, and we would rather have an honest conversation with you about where we are and what we are doing about it than gloss over it. Families and individuals considering our support deserve that honesty. Cornwall is a place we know well, and being rooted in this community means we understand some of the unique challenges around rural access and local resources. We work hard to make sure the people we support do not feel isolated or overlooked, regardless of where they live. If you would like to talk to us about how we might be able to support you or someone you care about, please do get in touch. We are always happy to have an informal conversation before any decisions are made.
