About Step by Step Supporting Independence
Step by Step Supporting Independence provides support to people living in their own homes across Dawlish and the surrounding part of Devon. We work with older adults, younger adults, people with learning disabilities and autistic people, people with physical disabilities or loss of sight or hearing, and people managing mental health conditions. The name describes the approach. A great deal of our work is about enabling rather than caring in the traditional sense. The aim is somebody running their own home, managing their own money as far as they can, getting to work or college, keeping appointments and seeing the people they choose. We do the parts that genuinely need doing for a person and leave the rest alone, even when doing it ourselves would be faster, because taking over is easy and hard to undo. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition, consistency and predictability matter more than any particular technique. We match staff to people with care and keep those teams small and steady, because the relationship is where the value lies. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch to talk about support in Devon.
