Together, building a better future
Statement of Purpose
Community Care Solutions Ltd was established by Mark Constant on 11th December 2000, to provide residential care services to adults with Learning Disabilities and other complex needs such as Challenging Behaviours or Physical Disabilities. Mark Constant established the company after eight years as a Consultant providing advice and support to a number of residential and social care providers. He believed that things could be done differently, giving individuals a real opportunity to develop their independence and life skills to enable them to enjoy many more of the freedoms and experiences that some of us take for granted.
Initially establishing a home in Rushden for 8 Adults with Learning Disabilities. In July 2001, Community Care Solutions purchased two more existing homes in Bedford and Biggleswade and a further two in Derby in September 2002.
With the advent of the new National Minimum Care Standards, Community Care Solutions were able to utilise the nationally recognised minimum standard as a base line from which to build and develop its own higher standards of provision and service. With this in mind Community Care Solutions have entirely redeveloped a 5 bed roomed home in Peterborough, which now meets all and exceeds many of the new standards in relation to environment and resources. We are seeking to build upon this success to provide some of the very best and highest quality Individual homes for Adults with Learning Disabilities.
Community Care Solutions Head office is based in Bedford and is a self contained modern office unit within a prominent business centre in the town. The Head Office reflects the recent changes in social care provision towards needs lead, forward thinking, modern high quality services, mirroring the approach taken by our inspection body the Commission for Social Care Inspection.
Community Care Solutions Head Office holds a full compliment of support and management staff, who are in post to assist Managers and Staff to provide a high quality service by enabling them to concentrate on Service Users´ needs and less on finance, employment law or building maintenance. All these items are dealt with at Head Office, by professionally qualified individuals and in accordance with the National Care Standards Regulations and all other legislation and requirements that can distract Managers and staff’s time away from Service Users.
These departments include a Human Resource Department, Training Department, Quality Assurance Department and an Accounts Department. The company also has its own Independent Service Users Monies Officer, who is employed by the company, but who is not part of any other department. This individual acts at all times in the independent interests of all Service Users, to ensure the Service Users individual financial accounts and affairs are properly maintained and audited. The Service Users Monies Officer also acts as appointee for Service Users where applicable and deals with all correspondence with the Department of Works and Pensions, to resolve any Income Support, DLA on other benefit issues on behalf of Service Users.
Community Care Solutions specialises in the provision of care for Adults with a Learning Disability, complex needs and associated Challenging Behaviours. These behaviours and needs may include: Autism; Aspergers Syndrome; Mental Health issues; Epilepsy; Downs Syndrome; Sensory impairments; Physical disabilities; Personality disorders and Speech difficulties.
Community Care Solutions does not currently provide nursing care or therapeutic techniques within our homes, however a full range of professional medical, psychological and therapeutic assistance would be sought, from professionally qualified practitioners within the community, for individual Service Users if required.
