About DCA South Yorkshire
DCA South Yorkshire is a home care agency based in Mexborough, supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, mostly younger adults, in their own homes and in the community. Our work is aimed at independence rather than at doing things for people. That might mean support with cooking, shopping, money, appointments and keeping a tenancy going, or help to get out, use local facilities, take up work or study and hold on to friendships. The measure we care about is whether somebody's week contains things they chose and look forward to. If a person's life has quietly narrowed to the four walls of their flat while the paperwork says everything is fine, then the support is not working, however reliably the calls are delivered. We plan with each person in language they can follow themselves. Where somebody communicates without speech, we learn how. Where the week needs to be predictable, we keep it predictable and flag changes well ahead. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet been given an overall rating. We say that plainly. If you are looking into support locally, please get in touch.
