Community Care Experts provides professional home care services for individuals with learning disabilities. Our personalised care plans promote independence and well-being, ensuring our clients receive the support they need.
How We Can Help
At Community Care Experts, we recognise that, like everyone else, individuals with learning disabilities deserve a full and rewarding life. We also respect that people with a learning disability must be supported to live independently and safely like everyone else if their condition allows it. Therefore, we are dedicated to creating personalised care packages for our service users and supporting them in achieving a fulfilled and rewarding life.
Our service is flexible and personalised, and we always remember that each person has individual needs. Our service users and their advocates will have access to our 24-hour emergency on-call. Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do, and our recruitment is subject to successful enhanced DBS and pre-employment checks.
Our care packages are based on service users' individual support needs. Care plans and risk assessments are also based on service users' preferred lifestyle, background and wishes. We will review care plans and risk assessments at least every three months, and when needed, and changes to service users care needs will be implemented immediately and communicated to their care team.
Our complex care packages have a dedicated team leader who will lead regular and backup support workers. The package team leader will maximise the communication amongst the multidisciplinary team and brings continuity and consistency to the service provided. Our skilled managers continually guide and support the team leaders.
