Services We Provide

At Pillar Nursing Placements, we understand that having to choose where you want to live, makes you feel in control of your life. Our services meet or exceed the standards set by the Care Quality Commission in England.

We support people with a range of disabilities and complex and challenging needs to live how and where they choose in our supported living services.

We offer opportunities for people to live as independently in any one of our  properties that you choose to live in if you do not want to live in residential care but are finding it difficult to cope at home. Supported living accommodation is a combination of suitable accommodation with some form of personal care.  We can provide personal support to help you with things like getting washed and dressed.  We can also help you around your home, such as cooking a meal, and if you would like support to go out in the community or to do your favourite thing, we can help you to with that too. We encourage you to participate in outcome based programmes enabling individuality, promoting positive and safe risk taking and identifying any barriers to achieving your personal goals.

Some of our supported living services can be specially adapted and can use technology that help people to live as independently as possible with the minimum of intrusion. Some properties are single occupancy properties while others are shared by 2 to 4 people with similar medical conditions.

For many people who want to live independently, getting the right care and support is just as important as finding the right home.

Our very experienced Senior Management and Staff Team have been supporting people for years, so we know how to provide good quality support.  We have supported many people to move from hospital, residential or family homes into their own place or a house they share with friends.

Pillar Nursing Placements provides all staff and management with a comprehensive induction and on-going training and development.  All our staff working with you daily also undergo additional specialist training, which is responsive to individual needs and to ensure continuity and consistency of support. Support is available from 6hrs a week to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At Pillar Nursing Placements, we are privileged to provide personal care and support to people living in their own homes. At Pillar Nursing Placements we offer a wide range of personalised and individually tailored flexible care services for you to choose from in the comfort of your own home.

Our core focus is on helping people to lead fulfilled, independent lives in their own homes and our Support Workers endeavour to enhance the well-being of service users through whatever opportunities and options are available.

We understand welcoming a carer into your home can be a difficult time. Knowing when to recognise the right time can be confusing for many. Regardless of whether you need someone to do light domestic task or all-day care, our skilled staff will make the transition easy for you. At Pillar Nursing Placements, we believe that maintaining and/or improving your independence and well-being is fundamental to your care and support. We also believe that this can only be achieved through dedicated, compassionate and enthusiastic staff with outstanding training and professionalism.

What sets us apart is how we organise ourselves around the service users’ individual needs and desires. This means that the service user, not us, is central in determining the care package. Some of our clients may want short term help, following an illness or because their usual carer is having a break. Others may want long term homecare and support and care for a loved one at the end of their life : – Nothing is ever too much trouble; our dedicated team of home care workers are fully trained to provide the following:
