About Dependable Social & Mental Health
Dependable Social and Mental Health supports people in their own homes in Abingdon and across this part of Oxfordshire. We work with older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental ill health, adults with a physical disability and younger adults. Mental health support at home is a good part of what we do, and it looks different from ordinary personal care. Often the most useful thing is simply reliability. Somebody who turns up when they said they would, who knows the person, who does not make a fuss on a bad day and does not disappear on a good one. Alongside that we help with medication, appointments, paperwork, shopping and the practical business of keeping a household going. For older people and people living with dementia, our visits cover the more familiar side of home care, helping with washing and dressing, meals, medication and company, as often or as little as is actually needed. We start by asking what help is wanted rather than working from a form, and we review plans properly when circumstances change rather than letting them go stale. We work closely with community mental health teams and GPs, and we raise concerns early rather than waiting for a review. Please get in touch if you would like to talk through what support might look like.
