Welcome to the Isle Care learning disability community services page
Our goal is to support people with learning disabilities have a fulfilling, enjoyable, and healthy life. We aim to support people to take as much control of their lives as possible, ensure they can make the same choices we all do, good and bad, and experience the same emotions we all experience, happy and sad. How do we do this?
We strive to include the people we support in all we do, such as developing policies, procedures and practices. Some people we support have helped us produce some DVDs on how to complain and on selecting support staff; others have helped us produce an introductory DVD called “our support provider”.
Every person we support has an individual person centred plan. This details what support is needed and where the support is coming from. This support might be from support workers, families, day centres, and health practitioners such as dentists, doctors, and occupational therapists. The plan is designed around the person and outlines what they need, want and desire. It is their plan.
If you need any further help, information, or just have a question, please email us at enquiries@islecare.org or call our office 01983 865888 or 01983 861900, or write to us at:
