About Swanton Community Services Shropshire, & Wrekin

We support people in their own homes across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. Those we work with include older adults, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and younger adults. We begin with what somebody wants their life to look like rather than with a list of tasks. Mostly the aim is to make it possible for a person to do things themselves and then to step back: cooking, managing money, using the bus, getting to a job or a course, dealing with the everyday business that can be genuinely daunting alone. Being predictable matters more than almost anything else we could offer. Being where we said, when we said, doing what was agreed, and explaining changes well in advance rather than springing them on people. Working across a largely rural area means being honest about distance, so we build rounds that survive an ordinary bad morning rather than ones that only work in good weather. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking the people we support what we should be doing differently, and we tell them plainly when something is not possible and why.
