About Vivid Community Care
Vivid Community Care is a home care agency based in Colchester, supporting people in their own homes across the surrounding area. We work with older people who want to carry on living independently at home, and with younger adults, including adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults and people with mental health needs. What we do is set by the person rather than by a standard package. It may be a short morning call to help someone wash, dress and start the day safely. It may be support with medication, meals, shopping and household tasks. It may be support to get out to work, to college, to a club or to see family, or help to manage appointments and correspondence. Where someone wants to take on more for themselves, we step back at their pace and stay available. How we communicate is as important as what we do. We take time to learn how each person likes information given to them, how they tell us when something is wrong and what helps them feel settled when a day is difficult. Mental health support asks for patience and for noticing a change early, and we work alongside colleagues in local health teams where that helps. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The measure we return to is whether the people we support have more choice and more control.
