Who this service is for

Specialist Care, Delivered With Compassion

Some care needs call for specialist skills and a calm, consistent approach. Our specialist teams support people living with complex feeding needs and autistic people of all ages, at home and in the community, with care that promotes comfort, safety and dignity.

PEG Feeding

Safe Nutrition and Hydration

Expert PEG feeding and dysphagia support for people who are unable to swallow safely, delivered by clinically trained carers.

Autism (ASD)

Understanding and Consistency

Autism-aware support built around each person’s communication style, routines and sensory needs.

Understanding PEG Feeding

Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) feeding delivers nutrition and fluids directly into the stomach through a tube when a person cannot swallow safely. This may be due to dysphagia, neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis, head and neck cancers, or advanced dementia or brain injury.

While PEG feeding can seem overwhelming, the right support can transform everyday life, restoring confidence, improving comfort and ensuring proper nutrition and hydration. We work alongside families, GPs, district nurses and dietitians to deliver safe, coordinated care.

Autism-Aware Support

Every autistic person is different. Our carers are trained in autism awareness, communication strategies and Positive Behaviour Support, and take the time to understand each person’s preferences, routines and ways of communicating, including people who are non-verbal.

We focus on predictability, trust and independence, supporting people to take part in daily life, education and their community, and helping young people through the transition into adult services.
