How We Care

We Bring Colour to Your Care
The power of colour to change people’s outlook, and to help shape their experiences of a place, is purposely used throughout One Care Support Services to create a safe, welcoming environment in which everyone can choose to feel supported, valued and sustained.
Integrating Colour with Care, at One Care Support Services
One Care Support Services’ key purpose is to create within its facilities a harmonious, warm ambience that is calming and, where necessary, uplifting. Colour is a vital element in our approach. We understand the positive impact of colour on wellbeing and recognise the power of colour to heal and change how we feel.
Colour can have significant impacts on our moods, thoughts, and productivity. Studies have proven the effectiveness of informed colour choice when decorating interior spaces, such as homes and offices. For people living with a disability who may be sensitive to their internal surroundings, colour choice becomes even more important for those providing specialised care.
At One Care Support Services we use this method to add an extra dimension of therapy and joy to our care.

Our Clients Come First
We understand everyone has their own preferences, and individual needs when it comes to care and support. We believe the key to leading an enriched life is through doing what you enjoy regularly.
One of the unique strengths of One Care Support Services is the ability to source, select and match the right staff to the people we support. We do this through our extensive recruitment process, initial induction and ongoing staff development. (We select the right people and we are mindful of the interaction/chemistry between them and the participant). One Care Support Services provides the highest quality care and support possible. We put our service users at the heart of everything we do and inject care into even the most mundane tasks.
We treat people with respect and encourage independence and self-fulfillment in those choosing to stay with us. We have developed a strong sense of community within our facilities in keeping with our aim of creating a welcoming, safe home for people who come to live here, either long or short term. Most of our staff have worked with us for many years because they are dedicated to helping people living with disabilities achieve their maximum sustainable independence level as contributing, responsible and equal participants in society.
Our team seeks to enhance individuality and self-esteem by preserving dignity, supporting self-expression, and recognising our participants’ right to take risks. One Care Support Services promotes freedom of choice as we continually evolve and improve what we do for our clients. We work with independent Support Coordinators who act as advocates for each person in our care. In this way we seek to build trust between our clients and those who care for them.
Wellbeing with Max
Cuddling a furry companion can help chase away the blues, and now science is proving its worth.
Therapeutic benefits of dogs are increasingly recognised in places providing support services to those with special physical or mental health needs. Clinical settings are opening their doors to animal-assisted interventions – pet therapy, in other words – used alongside conventional medicine.
