Regular support
Support can be arranged as a simple regular plan.
Some people prefer a predictable visit every week or month. Others need a more flexible arrangement. We can discuss both.
Home support
Practical help, companionship and everyday support can be arranged around the person and their routine.
Regular support
Weekly, fortnightly or other regular arrangements can be discussed depending on what would be useful.
Community & companionship
Support with getting out, staying connected, attending activities or simply having someone reliable alongside you.
Flexible arrangements
If you are not sure how much support is needed, start with a conversation and we can work through it together.
Private arrangements are discussed around the support required, frequency, location and available time. SDS-funded arrangements can also be discussed where applicable.

Choice and control
Already using Self-directed Support?
CareWithJohn can discuss arrangements where SDS funding is applicable. In Scotland, SDS is designed around choice, control and involvement in decisions about support.
