About AFG Community East
AFG Community in East Lancashire provides care and support to people in their own homes across Accrington and the surrounding area. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability or autism, people managing mental health conditions, and people with a physical disability or with sight or hearing loss. Our starting point is what somebody wants their life to look like rather than a list of things they cannot do. From there we work out what help would make that possible, agree it with the person and with those who know them best, and review it honestly as circumstances change. Support can include personal care, prompting and help with medication, preparing meals and drinks, help with moving safely, shopping, laundry and housework, and getting out to appointments, work, education or activities. For many of the people we support, part of the value is having somebody steady alongside them while skills and confidence grow. Our staff are trained for the specific needs they support and supervised in the work, and we keep teams consistent so that people are not repeatedly explaining themselves to somebody new. If you or a member of your family would like to discuss support at home in East Lancashire, please contact us and we will talk it through.
