Support to be yourself

You’ll live a full life

What does it feel like, to be supported by Discovery?

At Discovery we’re West Country folk through and through. We know what it is like, living in our counties and our towns. We love where we live and we understand the challenges too. We’d love to help you to be you here.

We’ll work with you to get the most from your support hours. Perhaps that’s staying healthy, making friends, or managing your money. We’ll help you to become more independent, wherever possible. In short, we’ll help you make your life happen.

Working Together for Your Support

Your family and trusted circle know you best. That’s why we work in partnership with you and them to create the right support plan.
You’ll be involved in every decision about your care. If you communicate without words, we’ll find other ways to listen to you.
Where possible, you and your family can help recruit and train your support team.
If you share a home, we may combine some hours as shared support, alongside your core support, so you get the most from your care.

A few of our favourite life stories:

Richard maintains his community’s defibrillator

Nicola teaches schoolchildren to sign

Doreen, at 90, is the boss of her house.

Linda’s seaside break

AJW’s ‘small steps to a fresh start’

Teaching Nigel to swim

Andrea learns to manage her own meds

Jake and Yvonne are each supported through grief

and who wouldn’t fall in love with Kat’s Quackers!

Supported Living Options

Most people choose supported living, where you have your own front door, tenancy, benefits, and bills—just like anyone else.
We also support people in small registered care homes, with the same high-quality experience.
If you live with family, we can provide outreach support so you can live life your way.

Building Independence

Our goal is to help you develop essential life skills. From personal care and travel training to shopping, cooking, socialising, and job readiness, we’ll support you every step of the way.
Whatever your goals, we’re here to help you thrive.

Because we’re in your corner.

“I am deeply appreciative of all the care, love and support that Jon and his team give to my brother.
It has been especially tricky lately, as his health has not been good, resulting in a lot of admissions to hospital, which given his needs has been a lot of extra work for the team.
Jon has been very good at keeping my sister and myself informed of the situation”
