About Council-Home First Community Support

We are Home First Community Support, a home care service run by North Lincolnshire Council and based in Scunthorpe. We support older people and younger adults in their own homes, including people with a physical disability. The thinking behind our name is straightforward. Wherever it can be made to work, home is the better place to be, and the question worth asking first is what would make staying at home possible rather than what would be easiest to arrange. Often that is support after a hospital stay, a fall or an illness, at the point when somebody's confidence has taken as much of a knock as their health. So the support is built around getting a person back to doing what they can for themselves, and it is meant to change as they do rather than settle at a fixed level. Where independence does not come back the way somebody hoped, we say so honestly and arrange what is actually needed. For people with a physical disability the practical details matter most: enough time that nothing is rushed, equipment set up properly, and asking the person how they prefer things done. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
