Home Counties
It all started for Walsingham Support in Hertfordshire in 1986 and today we are still supporting people with: learning disabilities, acquired brain injuries, autism, physical disabilities, sensory needs and challenging behaviour across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
We provide this support through a mixture of residential, supported living and out-reach services all designed and delivered by a team of passionate and committed staff. Staff that work with individuals, their families and carers to really understand what makes each individual tick, and develop creative, but practical, solutions that match each person’s abilities and goals.
Home Counties CQC Reports
Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of all health and social care services in England carries out inspections to ensure standards are being met. They inspect services against five criteria – whether they are Safe, Caring, Effective, Responsive and Well-led. We are pleased to say that all of our services have been given a good rating. According to CQC “Good and outstanding care is centred on the individual, has clear and visible leadership, and has processes and staff that constantly explore ways to improve.”
