10 Years of Experience
10 years of experience in providing personalized care and support to people with learning and physical disabilities.
Individual Personalised Care
We provide our residents with a friendly, clean, homely, comfortable, and safe environment, which promotes their individuality, choices, independence, rights, and dignity.
Friendly Service
We believe that the provision of high-quality, dedicated support starts with having a well-trained and knowledgeable staff team who actively values people with such needs.
Our Services
We at Swallowfield Care Centre believe that all our residents should feel like it's their home, not ours. We strive to make this the basis of our commitment to their care and support, providing everyone with a warm, friendly, and safe environment where they can begin this journey.
Residents who we support, are encouraged to lead independent lives as far as possible and to fulfill their own potential. Our goals are pretty simply theirs, in other words, our focus is on what they can do, rather than what they can't.
We support people who have one or more of the following needs:
Autism and Aspergers Syndrome • Physical disability • Learning disability • Challenging behavior • Mental health requirements • Self-harm • Epilepsy • Personality disorders • Complex needs
“We treat each person as an individual and respect him or her for who they are. We work closely with our clients at their own pace to develop their skills in order to maximize potential and encourage them to participate fully in their local community.”
Individual Personalised Care
Swallowfields care centre specialises in supporting adults who require a more structured and meaningful care package. We ensure that the support we provide is personalised based on the individual's needs. Person-centred plans and Health action plans enable us to carry out detailed care and relapse prevention planning whilst measuring progress by working towards a set of reasonable outcomes. These outcomes are identified by everyone we support, which is a fundamental part of achieving greater independence. We provide a highly personalised, safe, and fun environment where service users can develop their social, communication, and life skills with a view to gaining greater levels of independence, including education and employment.
Through our team, we can make huge inroads toward an individual becoming more settled, independent, and involved in the community around him/her.
