About South Domiciliary Care
South Essex Domiciliary Care supports people in their own homes in and around Basildon, Essex. We work with older people who want to carry on living independently, adults with a learning disability or autism, and younger adults who need practical support at home. Our approach is to support people to run their own lives rather than to run their lives for them. We ask what somebody wants their week to look like, what they manage well themselves and where help would make a real difference, and we build support around those answers. For some people that means assistance with personal care, medication, meals and household tasks. For others it means help to get out to work, college, clubs or family, or support to build skills around cooking, shopping and managing money. We adapt how we communicate to suit the person, and we take time to learn what helps someone feel settled and what causes them stress. Routines that fit the individual do far more good than any amount of policy. Keeping teams small matters a great deal here. People should not have to explain themselves to a new face every week, so we send carers who know the person and who are trained for the particular support they provide. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support.
