About St Anne's Community Services - DCA
St Anne's supports adults living with learning disabilities and autism in their own homes across Durham and County Durham. Support at home should widen a life rather than manage it down, and that principle decides most of what we do. We begin with what a person wants their week to contain, what they can already do, where they would like to become more independent and where they genuinely need somebody alongside them. The plan follows from that, rather than starting with a list of tasks and fitting the person around it. Day to day our staff help with the ordinary business of running a home and a life. Cooking, shopping, money, appointments, travel, college, work and keeping up with family and friends, alongside personal care where it is needed. Communication is planned around each individual, because choice only becomes real when somebody is properly understood, and we take change at a pace people can manage. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from people considering support for themselves, from families and from the professionals working alongside them.
