About Pathways Care Centre
Pathways Care Centre supports people in their own homes in Colchester and the surrounding parts of Essex. We work with a range of adults, and the aim is to give people the support they actually need to run their own lives rather than a service that takes over. For older people we help with washing and dressing, medication, meals and drinks, laundry, shopping and keeping the home comfortable, and we help people get out to appointments or simply out of the house. We support adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, where the work is usually about independence: cooking, managing money, using local transport, keeping a job or a course going, and having staff who understand how a person communicates and what makes a day difficult. For people with a physical disability we help with safe moving and with managing at home as independently as possible, and where somebody has sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate and take care not to move things without saying so. Many of the people we support are younger adults, so we plan around study, work and social life. We take time to get to know somebody before making plans, and we involve the people who matter to them where that is wanted. Our staff are trained for the individuals they support. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support at home here.
