Our dedicated, flexible and reliable staff work in a person centred way providing activities and support for individuals. The team is trained in all aspects of support required and involves the individual and their family/carer in decision making and compiling the appropriate support plan. We have close links with the local community and have designated staff drivers and staff who support people on outings and activities of their choice.
The service has built up a good reputation and we are regularly inspected by an external body, Social Care and Social Work Improvement Scotland (SCSWIS).
Self directed support (SDS) provides you with a choice in how your social care is provided, letting you decide how much control you want over the support you need to live your life the way you want to.
