About GS Social Care Solutions
GS Social Care Solutions supports people in their own homes across Blackburn and the surrounding parts of Lancashire. We work with adults living with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults, and with older people who need help to carry on living where they are. Support at home should open a life up rather than manage it down. That idea decides most of what we do. We begin with what a person wants their week to contain, what they can already do, where they would like to be more independent, and where they genuinely need somebody with them. The plan follows from that, rather than starting with a list of tasks and fitting the person around it. Day to day our staff help with the ordinary business of running a home and a life. Cooking, shopping, money, appointments, travel, college, work and keeping up with family and friends, alongside personal care where it is needed. Communication is planned around each individual, because choice only becomes real when somebody is properly understood. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from people considering support for themselves, from families and from professionals looking for a package that will hold up.
