About Turning Point – & Bolton Learning Disabilities Supported Living
At Turning Point in Salford and Bolton, we provide supported living and home care for adults across Manchester and the surrounding area. Our work centres on people with learning disabilities and autism, and we also support those living with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, visual or hearing impairments, and older adults as well as younger adults who need a bit of extra help to live their lives as they choose. We believe that where someone lives and how they spend their time should be shaped by them, not by a care plan written without their input. So we take time to get to know the people we support properly, understanding what matters to them day to day, what their goals are, and what kind of support actually helps rather than gets in the way. That means our approach looks different for everyone, because everyone is different. Our staff work hard to build genuine relationships with the people they support. It takes consistency and honesty to earn someone's trust, and we do not take that lightly. We try to recruit people who understand that good support is often quiet and unobtrusive, and who can step back when someone is ready to do things for themselves. Being based in Salford means we understand the local area and the communities our clients are part of. We work closely with families, local authorities and other professionals to make sure the people we support have access to everything they need, whether that is healthcare, social opportunities or simply a familiar face at the right time. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and remain committed to being open and transparent about the support we provide. If you would like to find out more about whether we might be the right fit for you or someone you care about, we would genuinely love to hear from you.
