About SOUTH
We provide care and support to people in their own homes across south Essex, working from Basildon. We support older people and younger adults, and our experience covers dementia, learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs, physical disabilities, sensory loss, eating disorders, and alcohol and drug misuse. That is a wide span, and it only works if we are honest with ourselves about whether we can meet a particular need well. We assess at home, talk it through with the person and whoever they want present, and say plainly when we are not the right people rather than taking the work and hoping for the best. Where we do take it on, support may be personal care and medication, meals and housework, help with appointments, money and travel, or longer visits for somebody who needs company and supervision as well as practical help. For people managing a mental health condition, an eating disorder or a recovery, consistency and clear expectations help more than reassurance, and we aim to be steady rather than indulgent. We keep support teams small, introduce new staff properly, and record how each person prefers to be approached so the whole team works alike. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and we are glad to answer any question you have.
