What is disability care?

Disability care is designed to support people living with a physical disability or learning disability, or long-term condition to remain independent in their own home. It provides the right level of support to help with everyday life, whether that’s practical help around the home, personal care, or support to stay active and engaged.

Receiving care in a familiar environment allows you to live life on your own terms, while maintaining control over your daily routine and decisions. With one-to-one support, care is built entirely around your needs – not a set schedule or shared environment.
