About SeeAbility Dorset Support Service
We are SeeAbility, providing support to adults in their own homes and in the community from our base in Southampton. Our work is with adults who have learning disabilities and with autistic adults, including younger adults. The point of what we do is not to take charge of somebody's life but to make the life they want workable, so we begin with what a person wants their week to look like and work back to the support that would make it possible. In practice that might mean help with personal care, medication, cooking, shopping, managing money and appointments, or support to get to work, college, a gym or a regular group. Communication is central: how somebody prefers to be given information, and how they let us know what they want, is the basis of everything else rather than a detail to be worked out later. Where change is difficult, we keep to a predictable routine and prepare properly for anything out of the ordinary. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. Until we have, we would encourage families and commissioners to ask us detailed questions about staffing, training, supervision and how we plan support. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about what we could offer.
