Enabling People to Flourish and ‘Live their Best Lives’

About Us

Saracen Care is a supported living provider, offering outstanding care and support services to adults with a health or social care need.

We specialise in bespoke support packages, developing specific solutions and opportunities for everyone. Our support is high quality and personalised, provided in supported accommodation or people’s own homes.

Our services are commissioned by local authorities and the NHS and we cover the localities of Gloucester, Cheltenham and Swindon

 

Staff communication is excellent. Whenever I need information, you are more than accommodating and very knowledgeable. Every effort has been made to ensure the person we support has a stable team of people around her that respect her.

What We Believe

At Saracen Care we believe it’s all about the Individual. We work to deliver a service that’s tailor made to assist people to live independent and fulfilled lives – their best life. We believe in empowerment and maximising an Individual’s potential; providing choice; increasing independence; ensuring a safe and secure setting; improving health; promoting wellbeing and facilitating identity and community inclusion.

We also believe that our Care and Support staff are the most important people in our Team, where communication is at the heart of our operations. A staff team that is listened to, included, developed and valued is fundamental to what we do.

We want to support people to live their best lives, through what they are able to do for themselves and as part of their community. We advocate the principles of autonomy, choice, self-determination, freedom and responsibility which are the foundations of being person centred and taking a strengths based approach – ‘what’s strong, rather than what’s wrong.’

An Individualised approach, recognising an individual’s assets – “Are we treating this person as a unique individual, understanding and building on their strengths?”

Seeing the world from the Perspective of the individual – “Are we putting ourselves in their shoes to understand how our actions or situations are being interpreted and felt?”

Providing a Social environment that supports wellbeing – “Do our actions help this person to feel socially confident and a part of their community?”
