About Community Support Services
We at Community Support Services are proud to provide compassionate home care across Oakham and the wider Rutland community, supporting people to live well and safely in the place they love most: their own home. Based in the heart of Oakham, our team is ideally positioned to reach individuals and families throughout this beautiful market town and the surrounding villages of Rutland. Delivering care in a person's own home means every aspect of support is shaped around familiar surroundings, treasured belongings, and established daily routines, helping our clients maintain independence whilst receiving the assistance they need. Our care is wide ranging, reflecting the diverse needs of the people we support. We provide specialised support for older people and those living with dementia, where consistency, patience, and familiarity make an enormous difference to daily wellbeing. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, our home care offers reassurance that a trusted carer is there to provide gentle, knowledgeable support whilst helping a loved one remain in the home they know. We also support younger adults, including those with learning disabilities and autism, helping individuals build confidence, develop life skills, and engage with their community in ways that feel right for them. Our mental health support is delivered with sensitivity and without judgement, whilst our experience working with people recovering from eating disorders and alcohol or drug misuse means we approach each situation with understanding and respect for the person's journey. For those living with physical disabilities or visual and hearing impairments, our carers adapt their approach to ensure communication, dignity, and practical assistance are always at the centre of every visit. Whether support is needed for a few hours a week or on a more intensive daily basis, our aim is the same: to enable each person to live the life they choose, safely and comfortably. We are proud that the Care Quality Commission has rated us Good overall, with an Outstanding rating in the Caring domain. This Outstanding recognition reflects something we believe deeply matters in home care: the warmth, kindness, and genuine human connection between our carers and the people they support. For families, this rating offers reassurance that the relationships built in the home are not simply professional but truly compassionate. Our consistent Good ratings across Safe, Effective, Responsive, and Well led domains demonstrate that this caring ethos is supported by reliable practice, sound leadership, and responsive planning. Choosing home care for yourself or someone you love is a significant decision, and we understand the questions and emotions that come with it. We would be delighted to speak with you, listen to your situation, and explore how we might help. Please get in touch to arrange a friendly, no obligation conversation about the care that would suit your family best.
