Caritas Care is the social welfare agency of the Diocese of Lancaster. We work in Lancashire and Cumbria in the area from the Ribble to the Scottish border, roughly west of the M6 motorway. The agency is a registered preferred provider of residential and domiciliary care with Lancashire County Council.

We are committed to:

• supported living through residential or individual tenancies
• individual choice
• participation and involvement in the local community
• personal support and training towards independent living
• person centred services that meet the needs of individuals

Each person using our service can expect:

• a living and working environment which is safe at all times and which encourages independence
• a Person Centred Support Plan
• regular monitoring of the progress of Person Centred Support Plans
• support to do as much as you can for yourself
• confidence that the service is subjected to internal and external scrutiny
• A key worker

We strive to create an environment which is warm and welcoming, where people can expect respect and understanding from trained and qualified staff. The service is tailored to meet individual needs through a key worker service.

The supported living service aims to provide: 

• homes in the community for adults with a learning disability
• staffed residential homes
• supported tenancy homes
• key workers to all people who use the service
• independent living preparation and training
