About Turning Point - Timberlea (Dom Care)
Timberlea in Watford, run by Turning Point, provides support to adults in their own homes across the area. We work with older people and with younger adults, and our experience covers learning disabilities and autism, mental health needs and physical disabilities. We are clear about what our support is for. It should widen somebody's life rather than manage it. In practice that means asking how a person wants things done and then doing it their way, even when another way would be quicker for us, and spending time alongside somebody while they do a thing themselves rather than doing it on their behalf. Support may cover personal care, medication and health appointments, but a great deal of it is about ordinary independence: cooking, shopping, money, travel, work or college, keeping in touch with people, and getting out to do the things anybody else would do. For people managing a mental health condition, consistency and clear expectations help more than reassurance, so we try to be steady and predictable. We keep support teams small, introduce new staff properly, and record how each person prefers to be approached so the whole team works alike. Where somebody communicates in their own way, learning it is part of the job. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall, and we are glad to discuss how we would support a particular person.
