About RICMS
We provide care at home in Whitley Bay and the surrounding part of North Tyneside, working with younger adults, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairments. Our work is about making it possible for people to live in their own homes and run their own lives as far as they are able to. For somebody whose mobility is affected, that can mean careful help with moving about safely, personal care, meals and the practical business of keeping a household going. For a younger adult it is often as much about getting out: to work, to college, to see people, to do whatever they want to do with their week. What we try hardest to avoid is taking over. Support should leave as much as possible in the hands of the person receiving it, and that means asking rather than assuming and agreeing what we do rather than arriving with a plan. Where sight or hearing is poor, small habits matter: saying who you are on coming in, speaking clearly and leaving things where they were put. We keep staffing as consistent as we can, because familiarity makes the practical side easier and spares people from explaining themselves over and over. We do not yet hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission and are glad to discuss that openly. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
