About Calm Futures
We are Calm Futures, based in Witham, and we provide care and support in people's own homes across Essex. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, people with physical disabilities, older people and younger adults. What we do is less about tasks than about making a life workable. That might mean personal care and help with medication, or it might mean cooking, shopping, managing money and post, keeping on top of a tenancy, or getting out to work, college, appointments and the places somebody actually wants to be. Support is planned with the person, in their own words, and it stays theirs to change. Two things matter more than anything else here. The first is consistency: the same staff wherever the rota allows, routines that hold, and changes explained in advance rather than sprung on people. For autistic people that predictability is a need rather than a preference, and we take sensory comfort seriously for the same reason. The second is doing things with somebody rather than for them, because independence is far easier to keep than to win back. For people with physical disabilities the emphasis is often on safe transfers and equipment that fits properly, alongside as much independence as somebody wants to hold on to. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are working out whether we would suit you or somebody you support, ring us and we will give you a straight answer.
