Who Our Care Plans Support
Tailored Support for Every Stage of Life
We support children, adults, and older people with a wide range of needs — from personal support to complex medical care, behavioural planning, or 2:1 assistance. Our approach is flexible, nurse-led, and shaped to fit the full picture of the person receiving care.
Most of our clients benefit from a blended care plan — combining support from different Shapes of Care. That’s where the true value lies.

✓ Education and training to help caregivers feel confident and supported in their role
✓ Emotional support and counselling resources to manage stress and prevent burnout
✓ Flexible in-home care that complements the family’s routines and preferences
"Care should never be one-size-fits-all—because people aren’t. True support means seeing the whole person, not just their diagnosis."

*Each care plan blends the right Shapes to meet the full picture of the person we support.
Dementia & Memory Support
Supporting dignity, connection, and daily stability — every step of the journey.
People living with dementia often need a blend of support — not just one type of care. They may need help with daily routines, gentle emotional connection, and sometimes clinical support for medication or health monitoring.
