About Voyage (DCA)
Voyage in Gloucester provides care at home to adults across the city and the surrounding county. We support older adults and younger adults, people with a learning disability and autistic adults, adults with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment, and people in recovery from alcohol or drug misuse. We should be straightforward about where we currently stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We would rather say so plainly here than leave a family to discover it elsewhere. We understand what was identified, we are working through it, and we are willing to go over both the findings and our response with anyone who asks. The work itself has not changed. It is about people living their own lives in their own homes with the support they have asked for, whether that means personal care and medication, or help to hold down a tenancy, get to work or college, manage money and keep up with family and friends. Support that runs through someone's private life depends on consistency and on staff who know the person properly. That is what we are working to get right everywhere, every time, rather than most of the time. Anyone considering support from us is welcome to ask us hard questions, and we will answer them.
