About our Services

Housing with Care services operate across five sites in Dundee. Providing support to adults of all ages that can have complex needs, our aim is to enable individuals to live independently in their own home all of which are self contained flats. Some of the areas we offer support are personal care (includes toileting, bathing and showering), travel to and from places, daily living skills including cooking, cleaning, assistance with budgeting, menu planning and the preparation of meals. We also offer support to attend appointments, take part in activities and attend social events outwith the service.

Working in partnership with families, carers, and other agencies to ensure that all their needs are being met in a person centred way. Staff may be required to support a service user with Peg feeding, manage and monitor epilepsy activity as well as manage challenging behaviour.
