About United Response - DCA

United Response in Ipswich supports adults in their own homes across the town and the surrounding parts of Suffolk, including people living with learning disabilities and autism, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. Support at home should widen a life rather than manage it down, and that idea decides most of what we do. We begin with what a person wants their week to contain, what they can already do, where they would like to become more independent and where they genuinely need somebody alongside them. The plan follows from that, rather than starting with a list of tasks and fitting the person around it. Day to day our staff help with the ordinary business of running a home and a life. Cooking, shopping, money, appointments, travel, college, work and keeping up with family and friends, alongside personal care where it is needed. Communication is planned around each individual, because choice only becomes real when somebody is properly understood. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from people considering support for themselves, from families and from professionals.
