About Ordinary Lifestyles
Ordinary Lifestyles supports people in their own homes in Oldham and across Manchester. Most of our work is with adults who have a learning disability, with autistic adults and with people who have physical disabilities, and we also support older people who want help to keep living independently. The name says what we are for. An ordinary life, on the person's own terms, with the support needed to make it work and no more than that. Support is planned with the person, in a form they understand, and covers what they want to be doing as much as the help they need. Keeping a tenancy going, cooking, managing money, getting to work, college or the places they enjoy, dealing with health appointments, and having somebody steady alongside them where situations are difficult. Where somebody does not use speech, we learn how they do communicate and make sure every member of their team knows it, because a worker who misreads a person creates problems that need never have existed. Keeping teams small and consistent is part of the same thinking. Where a person wants to need us less over time, that is a proper goal and we plan for it openly rather than quietly avoiding it. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please get in touch if you are arranging support in the Oldham area.
