Finding Independence with United for Care

Over the past year, Damien’s confidence has grown steadily. He’s settled into life at his United for Care home and found happiness in the little things like trips to Westfield, a good bargain at Aldi, and spending time with the people around him. What really stands out is how much he’s developed, learning new skills, taking more initiative, and discovering what independence truly feels like.

Support that builds confidence

From the day Damien moved into his United for Care home, his support team focused on helping him with his goal to live more independently. Together, they’ve worked on everyday goals, cooking simple meals using the communal air fryer, running errands, and getting out into the community with more confidence.

“Damien’s grown so much in the past six months,” says his team. “He’s thoughtful, helpful, and really engaged. He’s proud of what he’s achieving.”

Behind that progress is the strength of United for Care’s clinically informed approach, ensuring each participant’s goals are supported through practical skill-building, consistency, and professional oversight that keeps wellbeing at the centre of everything.

A connected home

Damien’s home is a welcoming, supportive environment where people live independently while still having a close-knit community around them. The setup means he can have privacy when he wants it, and connection when he needs it.

He loves joining in games of UNO and Guess Who with other participants and staff, and watching game shows together in the lounge.

A year of growth

In just one year, Damien has become more confident, more connected, and more independent. His goal of doing things on his own is now part of his everyday life.
