About Independence with Dignity Support Services
We are Independence with Dignity, based in Hungerford, and we provide care and support in people's own homes across West Berkshire and nearby. We support older people, including many living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic people, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities, people living with sight or hearing loss, and younger adults. Our name says what we are trying to do. Independence, because our aim is to make it possible for somebody to keep running their own life rather than to take tasks off them. Dignity, because how care is given matters as much as what is given, and being helped to wash or dress is only bearable when it is done unhurriedly and without fuss by somebody you know. Every arrangement begins with a conversation in the person's own home. How does the day run now? What has become difficult? What do you still want to do for yourself, and where would a hand genuinely help? From those answers we agree the visits, and we revise them as needs move. Support might cover personal care, medication, meals, mobility, shopping, paperwork, or help getting out to work, college and the community. We keep carers consistent wherever the rota allows, because familiarity is what makes support acceptable rather than intrusive. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Ring us if you would like to talk it through.
