About Positive Paths
We are Positive Paths, a home care agency supporting adults in and around Shifnal. We provide care and support in people's own homes and in their communities. Our work is largely with adults who have learning disabilities or are autistic, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who want help to live independently. The point of what we do is not to take charge of somebody's life but to make the life they want workable, so we begin with what a person wants their week to look like and work back to the support that would make it possible. In practice that might mean help with personal care, medication, cooking, shopping, managing money and appointments, or support to get to work, college, a gym or a regular group. Where change is difficult for somebody, we keep to a predictable routine and prepare properly for anything out of the ordinary. We have not yet received an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. While that is the case, we would encourage you to test us with practical questions: how we recruit and train our staff, who supervises them, how we match workers to people and what happens when something goes wrong. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support.
