About Southern Housing DCA
Southern Housing DCA is a home care agency on the Isle of Wight, supporting adults in their own homes and in their own tenancies. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability or a sensory impairment, and people managing a mental health condition. A good deal of our work rests on a simple distinction that is easy to lose sight of. The home belongs to the person. We are there to provide support that makes living in it workable, and the decisions about how life is run stay with them. That changes how we behave. We knock, we ask, and we treat a person's tenancy as theirs rather than as a placement. It also changes what success looks like. Often it means somebody needing less from us over time. Where a person wants to cook, manage their own money, travel independently or take on work or study, we put real effort behind it. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking into support at home on the Island, please get in touch.
