Living with a physical disability does not mean giving up your independence, routines or the comfort of your own home.
We Care Together provides personalised physical disability care in Southampton for adults who need additional support with everyday life.
Whether you need occasional help with particular tasks or more regular care throughout the day, we will work with you to create a care plan based around your needs, abilities, preferences and routines.
Our role is to provide support where it is needed while helping you remain as independent and in control as possible.
Everyone’s circumstances are different.
You may have lived with a physical disability for many years, experienced a change in mobility following illness or injury, or recently found that some everyday activities are becoming more difficult.
Whatever your circumstances, your care begins with understanding you.
We take time to learn what you are comfortable doing independently, where you would like assistance and how you prefer that support to be provided.
Your care plan can then be built around your life, routines and choices rather than expecting you to adapt to a fixed way of receiving care.
The support you receive will depend on your individual requirements and agreed care plan. It can include:
Sensitive assistance with washing, bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting, provided with respect for your dignity and privacy.
Help with moving around your home where appropriate and included within your assessed care needs.
Support with attending appointments, shopping, visiting friends and family or taking part in activities outside your home.
Help with preparing meals, drinks and snacks based around your usual routines and preferences.
Medication administration or reminders where appropriate and included within your agreed care plan.
Help with everyday household activities including laundry, dusting, vacuuming and washing dishes.
Practical help with shopping and everyday errands where required.
Support with getting ready for the day or settling comfortably at home in the evening.
Remaining at home can mean staying close to the people, possessions, routines and surroundings that matter to you.
Our carers are there to provide help where you need it while encouraging you to continue doing as much as you comfortably can for yourself.
That could mean assistance getting ready in the morning, preparing a meal, moving around your home, attending an appointment or completing an everyday task that has become more difficult.
Your abilities and choices remain central to the way your care is provided.
The aim is not to take over your daily life. It is to make sure the right support is available when you need it.
Good care should support the life you want to lead.
That is why we look beyond the individual tasks included within a care plan and take time to understand what matters to you personally.
You may want help maintaining your usual routine, visiting family, going shopping, enjoying a favourite activity or simply feeling more confident managing everyday life at home.
Where this forms part of your agreed care, our carers can provide practical support that helps you continue with the routines and activities that are important to you.
Receiving care does not mean giving up control over how you live.
You remain involved in decisions about your support and can tell us how you prefer things to be done, which tasks you would like help with and where you want to remain independent.
Care can also change with you.
If your circumstances or support needs change, your care plan can be reviewed so that the assistance you receive continues to reflect what you need.
It is personalised care built around your everyday life.
Welcoming someone into your home and relying on them for personal support requires trust.
We recognise how important it is to feel comfortable with the people providing your care.
Our carers take time to get to know you, understand your routines and learn how you prefer to be supported.
Building these relationships can make care visits feel more familiar and personal while helping your carers understand what matters to you from day to day.
When someone you care about begins to need additional support, it can be difficult to know what help is appropriate or where to begin.
You may already be providing regular care yourself and need additional assistance, or you may want reassurance that your relative has support when you cannot be there.
Our Southampton care team can listen to your concerns, explain the care available and discuss how additional support could fit alongside the help already provided by family members.
Where appropriate, we can work alongside relatives and existing support networks while keeping the wishes and independence of the person receiving care at the centre of every decision.
We Care Together provides personalised home care to people living in Southampton.
Your needs, abilities, preferences and routines help shape your individual care plan.
Our carers are selected and trained to provide respectful, person-centred support in your own home.
We provide assistance where you need it while encouraging you to continue doing as much as possible for yourself.
Your privacy, choices and personal preferences are respected throughout the care you receive.
We believe good care comes from getting to know people properly and understanding how they want to be supported.
If your needs or circumstances change, your care plan can be reviewed and adjusted accordingly.
You do not need to know exactly what type or amount of care you require before contacting us.
Perhaps everyday tasks have become more difficult, your mobility has changed or family members are finding it harder to provide all the support you need.
You might also be returning home following an illness, injury or hospital stay and feel that some additional assistance would help you manage everyday life.
Our Southampton team can listen to what is happening, explain the support we provide and help you understand whether personalised care at home could be suitable for your circumstances.
Physical disability care at home provides personalised assistance for someone living with a physical disability while allowing them to remain in their own home.
Depending on their individual needs, care can include personal care, mobility support, meal preparation, medication support, household tasks and help with everyday routines.
Our care is based around the individual’s support needs rather than a particular condition or diagnosis.
If a physical disability, illness, injury or change in mobility is making aspects of everyday life more difficult, contact our team to discuss whether our services may be suitable.
