About Social Life Opportunities (SoLo)
Social Life Opportunities, known as SoLo, is a home care agency in Solihull supporting adults in their own homes and out in the community. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and we are putting it first rather than at the end. The inspection identified shortfalls, we have accepted them, and the fair question to put to us is what has actually changed since. Ask it, and expect specifics rather than reassurance. We work with older people and younger adults, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability or a sensory impairment, and people managing a mental health condition. A good deal of our work is about getting people out rather than looking after them indoors. Isolation does as much damage as most physical conditions, and for younger adults in particular a life spent between four walls is not an acceptable outcome, however reliably the support is delivered. If you are arranging support locally, please get in touch. We will tell you honestly whether we can do what you need.
