About Alpha Care SW Community Services

We support people in their own homes across Plymouth. Those we work with include adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss and younger adults. We begin with what somebody wants their life to look like rather than with a list of tasks. Mostly the aim is to make it possible for a person to do things themselves and then to step back: cooking, managing money, using the bus, getting to a job or a course, dealing with the everyday business that can be genuinely daunting alone. Where a person communicates differently, for whatever reason, we sort that out properly at the beginning, because everything else we do rests on it. Being predictable matters more than almost anything else we could offer. Being where we said, when we said, doing what was agreed, and explaining changes well in advance rather than springing them on people. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it and conscious it describes a period rather than a promise, so we keep asking the people we support what we should change.
