About Creative Support – Services

We are Creative Support, and this is our team working in Carlisle and the surrounding area. We provide support to adults in their own homes, with a particular focus on people living with mental ill health, alongside older people who need help to carry on living independently. Where mental health is the reason for our involvement, the support we offer tends to look less like a list of tasks and more like a steady presence. That can mean helping somebody keep a routine that holds, prompting and supporting with medication, helping with shopping, cooking, cleaning and budgeting, getting to appointments, and keeping a tenancy going. It can also mean simply being the reliable person who turns up, notices when things are slipping and does something about it early. We work closely with community mental health colleagues so that our support fits with the rest of somebody's care. For older people, the work is more practical: personal care, medication, meals, shopping and getting out of the house. In both cases we plan the support with the person, write down what matters to them, and review it honestly. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and our staff are recruited with full checks and trained for the people they support. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
