Nurturing, Caring and Empowering

Welcome to Footsteps Care

Working together to create one home, one family

We provide safe, nurturing homes and specialist support for children, young people and adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.

At Footsteps Care, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, understood and supported to reach their full potential.

Established in 2004, we have extensive experience providing specialist residential care. Our approach is centred around creating warm, welcoming environments where individuals feel a genuine sense of belonging.

Through compassionate, person-centred and trauma-informed care, we support each individual to develop confidence, independence and essential life skills while celebrating their unique strengths and achievements.

OUR SERVICES

Children's Residential Care

Ages 5–17

We provide specialist residential care for children and young people aged 5 to 17 within our homes in Goodmayes and Leyton.

Our services support children and young people with a range of additional needs, including:

Learning disabilities and autism
Physical disabilities
Complex health and care needs
Communication difficulties
Social, emotional and behavioural needs
Experiences of trauma and adversity

We recognise that every child is unique. Our care is individually tailored to meet all their needs, and to create a loving, stable and supportive home where children can enjoy their childhood, build meaningful relationships, develop independence and experience opportunities to thrive.

Supported Living Services

Age 18+

Alongside our children's residential services, we provide supported living for adults with learning disabilities and complex needs in our CQC registered service.

Our approach promotes independence, dignity, choice and personal development, ensuring individuals receive support that reflects their needs, preferences and aspirations.

We aim to empower the people we support to develop everyday living skills, build confidence and enjoy fulfilling lives within their community.

OUR APPROACH TO CARE

Our philosophy is built around providing more than accommodation or support. We strive to create a sense of family, belonging and security.

We believe in:

Providing safe, nurturing and welcoming environments.
Building positive, trusting relationships.
Listening to and respecting individual wishes and feelings.
Promoting independence and personal development.
Working collaboratively with families and professionals.
Celebrating every achievement.

MAKING A REFERRAL

We work closely with local authorities, social workers, families, healthcare professionals and other agencies to ensure individuals receive appropriate care and support.

Every referral is carefully considered to ensure we can meet individual needs and provide a suitable, supportive environment.
