About First Steps After Parents
Here at First Steps After Parents, we provide home care support for people in Chigwell, Essex and the surrounding area. Our focus is on the individuals we work with, making sure that care fits around their lives rather than the other way around. We specialise in supporting younger adults and people with learning disabilities or autism. We understand that for many of the people we work with, the transition away from parental care can feel uncertain, both for the individual and for their family. Our role is to make that transition as straightforward and as positive as possible, helping people to build confidence, maintain independence and live well in their own homes. Home care means something different to everyone. For some people it means support with daily routines, for others it means companionship or help getting out into the community. We take the time to understand what matters to each person and we work alongside them, and their families where appropriate, to put the right support in place. We know that handing over care to someone new requires trust, and we do not take that lightly. We take our time when matching our team to the people we support, because a good relationship makes a real difference to how someone feels about receiving care at home. Being based locally in Chigwell means we are genuinely part of the community we serve. We are not a distant organisation. When people need to speak to us, they can, and when things need to change, we respond. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission, and we welcome the scrutiny that comes with that. We are always looking at how we can do better, listening to feedback and making sure the people in our care feel heard, respected and well supported.
