About Community Support Services

We provide care and support to people in their own homes in Driffield and across the East Riding of Yorkshire, working mainly with older people and with people living with dementia. This is a rural area and that shapes how we work. Distances are real, villages are small, and a care worker who does not know the lanes is a care worker who arrives late. So our teams are local, they stay local, and the people they visit are people they see regularly rather than names on a rota. Support begins with an unhurried visit and a conversation about what has actually become difficult. It is often not what families expect. Sometimes it is washing and dressing, sometimes medication or meals, sometimes getting to an appointment, and quite often it is that the house has grown very quiet. The plan follows from that and is revised as needs change. For people living with dementia we keep the same small team visiting, work at the person's pace rather than the clock's, and pay attention to the early changes that relatives sometimes notice before anyone else. We support families too, because a great many households here are held together by one relative doing a great deal. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that, and we are clear that it describes how we were found rather than a permanent condition, so we keep at it. Please do get in touch.
