About Lifeways Community Care
Lifeways Community Care in Taunton supports adults in their own homes across the town and the surrounding area. Much of our work is with adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people living with a physical disability, and many of the people we support are younger adults. What support looks like depends entirely on the person. For one it may be help with cooking, shopping, laundry, bills and appointments. For another it may be support to use local transport, to get to a job or a college course, to join a club or to keep in touch with family. For someone else the important part is staff who understand how they communicate, what they find overwhelming and how they like the day to be ordered. Where somebody has a physical disability we help with moving safely and with the practical business of managing at home, and the right equipment and training are in place. For older people we help with personal care, medication, meals and the running of a home. We spend time getting to know a person before making plans, and we involve the people who know them best. Routines are respected, and when something has to change we explain it properly. Our staff are trained for the individuals they support. Please contact us if you would like to know more.
