Home care for children with disabilities

Specialist support for children with physical and learning disabilities

Transforming the lives of young people and their families

At Abbots Care, we offer home care for children with additional needs, as well as support to live independently in their community. 

With specialist training in caring for children with physical and learning disabilities, our team of energetic and compassionate care workers will ensure that your child gets the best level of tailored support.

Every child, and every family, is different. So we take the time to understand each child’s individual needs to support them in achieving their personal goals.

Services our in home care for children includes

We tailor our care plans to meet the needs and personal preferences of each unique child. Some of the things we can help children and families with include:

• Support with the transition to independent living: Our carers are trained to support your child to live as independently as possible. Whatever that means for them and their needs, we’re here to help them thrive. 
• Personal care & medication management: Every child requires personalised care. Whether it’s supporting them getting changed, taking medication or providing a helping hand with other personal needs, we can offer ongoing long-term or short-term care that fits who they are.
• Companionship & socialising in the community: Living with a disability or additional needs can feel isolating at times Not only will our compassionate care team provide company, support and positivity, but we will also encourage your child to socialise in their community. Whether that’s supporting them to join a youth club, or to try out a new hobby.
• Support on short breaks: We can provide the extra support you need when on holiday with your child. Being away from home, out of their routine, can be challenging, so we can be there for them to be there for you.  
• Respite care for parents & guardians: Every carer needs a break. We can provide short-term, respite care to give you peace of mind that your child is in the best care while you’re away, including supporting a wide range of complex care needs. 
• Helping them live a fun, fulfilling life everyday: Whether it’s the latest movie, swimming at the local leisure centre, or getting them outdoors in the fresh air, our carers will support your child to thrive in their day-to-day life.   

We encourage the children and young people we care for to be as active as possible, and can use creative approaches to help them access opportunities they didn’t think possible. Get in contact today to find out how we can help support and expand your child’s lifestyle.

Ensuring the best possible care is provided for your child

“Abbots Care has been providing care in our home for my son with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy since September 2019. They are an amazing, dedicated team of Care Workers, taking time to get to know the family to ensure the best possible care is provided. They are professional in the care they provide while supporting my son emotionally and promoting independence during his teenage years. I would highly recommend Abbots Care to anyone needing care and support.”
