Safe, warm and welcoming spaces for vulnerable children and young people

Under our watch, children benefit from therapeutically-informed care underpinned by the Secure Base model.

Decades of research on resilience and attachment theory has emphasised the importance of creating a secure base, where children can feel safe and able to try new activities and experiences.

We promote regular activities for children in our care and encourage them to take part in a variety of sports, hobbies and new experiences that they may enjoy. 

We believe this, combined with our therapeutic approach, helps develop a child’s self-esteem and identity as well as building appropriate social and group relationships.

A home from home

 

We have residential children’s homes across the North West and the West Midlands, from rural bungalows in the Shropshire hills to our new home in the suburbs of Formby.

Recently one home enjoyed an amazing holiday in Cyprus with all 4 young people packing their suitcases and enjoying the sun. We also supported a young person to move into independent living and adapted one of our homes to support a child with physical disabilities.

Alongside the Secure Base, our residential staff are providing life-enhancing experiences that give children confidence and boost self-esteem.  Children can learn, grow and develop in an environment that has their best interests at heart.

In Good Hands

Our registered managers and service leaders have decades of residential childcare experience and know exactly what good care looks like.

Family Care’s residential children’s homes are supported by an in-house therapeutic services team with over 40 years combined practice experience. 

Therapist visits take place on a fortnightly basis, with homes requesting additional support throughout the week if it is needed.

Family owned and operated since 1988
