About Choice Care
Choice Care is one of the UK’s leading residential care providers for people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions. With over 30 years’ experience, we’re at the forefront of national best practice, with among the highest CQC ratings of any comparable organisation.
Our homes are more than just a place to live – they’re like a second family for everyone we support. Each home is a close‑knit community with its own unique personality, built on trust and the promise of unconditional care. In every Choice Care home there’s a strong emphasis on living life to the full and having fun, with purposeful daily activities based on individual preferences and capabilities. Regular social events, projects, outings and holiday breaks allow everyone to get involved and express themselves.
Work Setting
We provide flexible, individually‑tailored supported living services for people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and associated complex needs. Our support packages range from a few hours a day to help with independent living skills, assist with shopping, cooking and personal care, and provide access to resources in the community, right up to full‑time, 24‑7 specialist care. We work closely with local authority commissioners, care professionals, and accommodation providers to support people with their own tenancy to live as independently as possible while still being able to rely on the individual care and assistance they need.
