At Haringey My Homecare, we would like to think that with the right level of support, individuals can live meaningful and worthwhile lives. For some, they might need support with everything in daily living, but a great many people with learning disabilities can live with minimum support based on an empowering and coaching-oriented way of working. We’re committed to making a positive impact by building good, person-focused relationships between our service users and their specialist support staff.
We are also aware that certain people will exhibit difficult behaviours, generally as a way of communicating their needs. That is why we take a holistic assessment approach, identifying triggers to behaviour and creating constructive, effective staff responses. Our Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Plan outlines clear, step-by-step methods to allow our carers to respond in a helpful and compassionate way to difficulties.
If you sit down with our manager, they will take the time to answer every question and concern you have, leaving you feeling fully cared for throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does accessing community support involve?
Accessing community support involves helping individuals stay connected with the world around them—whether that’s getting to social groups, day centres, places of worship, shops, or leisure activities. Our carers provide the practical help and companionship needed to take part in community life with confidence.
Can carers accompany clients to appointments?
Yes. Our carers can accompany clients to medical, dental, and hospital appointments, as well as other essential visits. They can help with getting ready, travelling to and from the appointment, and providing reassurance throughout.
Do you help with public transport?
Yes. We can support individuals in using public transport—helping them plan journeys, board safely, and travel with confidence. Where public transport isn’t suitable, we can help arrange alternative transport options.
Can support be arranged regularly?
Absolutely. Support can be arranged as a one-off, weekly, or on any regular schedule that suits the individual’s routine and preferences. Visit frequency and timings can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Is this service suitable for people with disabilities?
Yes. Our carers are trained to support people with a wide range of physical and cognitive disabilities, providing tailored assistance that promotes independence, dignity, and safety at all times.
Can I combine community support with other services?
Yes. Accessing community support can be combined with personal care, companionship, meal provision, medication assistance, domestic help, respite care, live-in care, or assistance with travelling. We can create a wider care plan if more than one type of support is needed.
How do you create a support plan?
One of our managers carries out a free assessment to understand the individual’s needs, routines, and preferences. From this we develop a personalised support plan, which is reviewed regularly and adjusted as circumstances change.
How quickly can services start?
In most cases services can start within a few days of the initial assessment. For urgent situations we’ll do our best to arrange support as quickly as possible—simply get in touch with our Haringey team to discuss your needs.
