About the Company:

Cream Care primarily provides residential care homes; we also offer some supported living provisions. Our services offer care and active support to people with complex needs. Our residents and tenants are people who may have a profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD); a severe learning disability with complexity of needs; a physical disability with cerebral palsy quadriplegia with some individuals able to direct their care and support. We are set up to provide tasks which border on nursing care; we do not have dual registration and are not licensed to complete tasks which the local clinical guidance demands a nurse to be overseeing. We can manage gastronomy care, administration of medications (all routes), offer front of mouth suctioning, manage use of and delivery of oxygen and monitor SATs. In fact, there are many clinical demands we are able to cover through obtaining the right training and with the support of specialists. We aim to offer support focused on individuals who share the need for bespoke care and practice.

Since its creation in 2006, the aim of Cream Care has been to provide opportunity for development and growth, overcoming barriers in order to support people to realise their goals, wishes and aspirations. We achieve this by putting the person at the centre of the planning process, working with them and their representatives to deliver the care and support that is right for them. We recognise that we are privileged to be trusted enablers and advocates for people whose voices and choices are not always recognised.
