About Feather-Stone Care
We provide support to adults in their own homes across Northampton and the surrounding area. Our work covers older people, adults with a learning disability or autism, people living with mental health needs and younger adults building a life of their own. Support might mean help with washing, dressing and medication, or cooking, shopping, budgeting and appointments, or someone alongside a person while they manage anxiety, keep a routine going or take on something new like a job or a course. For many people it means a bit of each at different times. We start with communication. Not everyone tells us what they need in words, and learning how each person does tell us is our job rather than theirs. Predictability comes next. We keep staffing as consistent as we can and give proper notice before anything changes, because sudden change is usually the hardest part of anyone's week. For people living with mental health needs we pay attention to early signs that things are shifting, and we work with community teams rather than around them. The people we support have a say in who works with them and how things are done in their own home, and we take that seriously rather than treating it as a formality. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you would like to talk about support in this area, please get in touch.
