Our care
Philosophy and Approach
At Enablement and Care, we offer comprehensive and personalised support tailored to each resident’s unique needs and preferences. Our homes provide both one-on-one and core support, with options for privately funded hours in addition to social care support. Residents benefit from seamless access to a wide network of healthcare professionals, including occupational therapists, physical therapists, and more. We believe in a person-centered approach to care, where each resident has a detailed care plan developed in collaboration with their family, focusing on personal goals and outcomes.
Our team supports residents with medication management, daily tasks such as laundry and housework, and encourages the development of life skills to promote greater independence. Additionally, residents enjoy nutritious, home-cooked meals tailored to their tastes and dietary needs.
Innovation and Independence
We embrace technology and innovation to enhance residents’ lives and promote independence. Our homes are equipped with care alarms for safety, FaceTime for staying in touch with loved ones, and Alexa-enabled devices to assist with cooking, setting reminders, and checking the weather.
Additionally, we support residents with travel training and talking technology to aid in speech development. Where possible, we offer opportunities for employment and volunteer roles, helping residents engage actively and confidently in their communities.
