About Swanton Community Services
Swanton provides community support at home to adults in Stevenage and across Hertfordshire. The people we work with include older people who need help to stay in their own houses, adults living with dementia, people with a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults who need support to live independently. Those are very different kinds of support and we do not issue everybody the same package. For older people and people living with dementia, the priority is usually continuity and reliability: the same carers, arriving when they said they would, allowed enough time to do things properly. For younger adults and people with a learning disability, it is more often about independence, whether that means cooking, handling money, getting to work or college, or keeping up with friends. For autistic people in particular, how support is given matters as much as what is given. Clear information, staff who stay the same, honest notice before anything changes and real choice about who comes into your home prevent most difficulties before they start. Support is agreed with the person and changed when their circumstances change. Please get in touch if you are arranging care at home locally and we will talk it through.
