💻 Our website has a fresh new look at ICH Cornwall 💻

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we’re growing — and with new services on the way, it was time for our website to grow with us. We’ve given it a brand‑new facelift to make it easier to navigate and simpler for families to find the information they need.

🎨 Each of our care services across Cornwall and Somerset now has its own colour palette, helping visitors quickly recognise the area they’re looking for. We’ve also broken down our pages into smaller, clearer sections so everything feels lighter, cleaner and easier to read.

🧭 The new layout is designed to guide you easily through each step, making the whole experience more accessible for families who may be looking into care for the first time. The information about working for us is also clearer, and better laid out.

🔧 We will continue to refine and expand the site as more of our new services become available. We’re excited to share these updates with you as ICH continues to grow.

💛 How our care services can help at ICH Somerset 💛

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), each with their own unique needs, routines and ways of communicating. For families who are looking into care for the first time, understanding what support looks like can make the process feel less overwhelming.

🏡 Our Somerset respite services offer short stays in a calm, safe and familiar environment. This gives families time to rest while knowing their loved one is being cared for by people who understand their needs and preferences.

🤝 Our Somerset community care programme provides support at home, helping with daily routines, personal care, positioning, sensory activities and communication. For many families, this gentle, consistent help can make everyday life feel more manageable.

🧸 Care services aren’t just about practical tasks — they’re about comfort, dignity and connection. We learn the small details that matter: a favourite item, a comforting sound, a familiar gesture, all the tiny cues that show us when someone is happy, tired or needs reassurance.

🌟 Choosing care for the first time can feel like a big step, but you’re not alone. At ICH, we work closely with families to build trust, reduce stress and make sure each person feels safe, understood and supported.

🤗 If you are looking for help, we have a few places available for new service users within our Somerset community care program.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming compassionate carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West and want to make a real difference, learn more about us on our website.

🧼 International Infection Prevention Week at ICH Somerset 🧼

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), many of whom are more vulnerable to infections due to complex health needs and limited mobility.

🩺 As colds, flu and COVID season arrives, International Infection Prevention Week (19th–25th October) reminds us how important it is to protect both our service users and our carers. Infections can be silent, and some of the people we support may not be able to tell us when something feels wrong — which is why prevention matters so much.

🧽 Our teams are trained in careful hygiene routines, safe handling of equipment, correct PPE use, and gentle positioning techniques that help reduce pressure areas and keep skin healthy. These small, consistent actions make a big difference to comfort and wellbeing.

🏡 Across our community PMLD services in Somerset, we work together to keep environments clean, safe and healthy. By doing this, we look after one another and the people in our care.

🤗 If you are looking for help, we have a few places available for new service users within our Somerset community care program.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming compassionate carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West and want to make a real difference, learn more about us on our website.

💚 Back Care Awareness Week at ICH Somerset 💚

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), and many of the individuals we care for rely on us for lifting, positioning and physical support throughout the day.

🧠 Back Care Awareness Week is a reminder that carers often put their bodies under pressure without realising it. Back pain can creep in quietly, and both carers and service users can suffer in silence if the right techniques aren’t used.

🪑 That’s why we train our teams in safe moving and handling, correct posture, and gentle positioning routines. These skills protect our carers’ wellbeing and ensure that the people we support are lifted, moved and settled in ways that feel comfortable and secure.

🏡 Across our community PMLD services in Somerset, we work closely together to make sure every movement is tailored to each person’s needs and safety. By doing this, we look after one another and the people in our care.

🤗 If you are looking for help, we have a few places available for new service users within our Somerset community care program.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming compassionate carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West and want to make a real difference, learn more about us on our website.

🤗 Working as a carer for people with PMLD at ICH Somerset 🤗

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), each with their own unique needs, communication styles and ways of experiencing the world.

💙 Being a carer for someone with PMLD isn’t just a job — it’s a role that asks for patience, gentleness and genuine compassion. The people we support often rely on us to understand their small cues, their preferences, and the tiny details that help them feel safe, understood and comfortable.

🌟 A great PMLD carer is someone who notices the little things: a change in facial expression, a comforting sound, or a small movement that signals excitement or discomfort. This level of understanding builds trust and makes everyday experiences more meaningful.

🏡 Across our community PMLD services in Somerset, we work closely together to make sure each person receives care that is attentive, respectful and tailored to them. We’re more than a team — we’re a family who support one another as much as we support the people in our care.

🤗 If you are looking for help, we have a few places available for new service users within our Somerset community care program.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming compassionate carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West and want to make a real difference, learn more about us on our website.

🟢 World Cerebral Palsy Day at ICH Somerset 🟢

🫴 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we support people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD).

💚 Beyond learning disabilities, some of our service users have complex physical needs caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy. This can shape how they move, communicate and experience the world and may result in sensory differences or unique ways of expressing themselves. Our aim is always comfort, dignity and meaningful connection.

📆 The 6th of October is World Cerebral Palsy Day, a time to recognise the strength and individuality of people living with cerebral palsy and other limiting conditions.

🫂 Across our community PMLD services in Somerset, we watch for unique cues and signals to learn each person’s specific methods of communication and what makes them feel safe and comfortable.

🌼 Familiar sounds, objects, music and sensory activities offer reassurance and provide outlets for self-expression and having fun. All of these tiny details matter. They build trust, reduce frustration and help each person feel understood.

🤗 If you are looking for help, we have a few places available for new service users within our Somerset community care program.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming compassionate carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West and want to make a real difference, learn more about us on our website.

🫶 International Day of Sign Languages at ICH Somerset 🫶

♥️ For many people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), spoken language isn’t always the easiest way to express themselves.

🤏 At In Caring Hands (ICH), we often use simple forms of sign language not because someone is deaf, but because signs and gestures can be a clearer, calmer way for some of the people we support to communicate their needs, choices and feelings.

📅 The 23rd of September, is International Day of Sign Languages and is a way to acknowledge that language is accessible for everyone when provided with the right tools.

🖐️ We see every day how even a small gesture can be an important signal meaning “more”, “finished”, “yes”, “no”, or “thank you”. This simple communication can reduce frustration, build trust, and help someone feel understood.

🧏‍♂️ Our community care team supports people with PMLD and help them to communicate in the way that works best for them. For some, that’s words, for others it’s eye contact, facial expression, or hand signs. What matters most is that their voice, in whatever form it takes, is heard.

💛 Our carers learn each person’s unique communication style, paying attention to the small details that make a big difference. A familiar sign, a shared gesture, or a simple hand movement can help someone feel safe, respected and connected.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming new carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West of England, have a naturally compassionate nature, and love working as part of a supportive team, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

🌟 Professional Care Workers Week at ICH Somerset 🌟

📅 Professional Care Workers Week, the 14th to the 18th of September, highlights the vital contribution carers make across the UK. At In Caring Hands (ICH), we see that dedication from our Somerset team every day.

🏡 Our profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) service in Somerset is fully community‑based. Carers visit people where they live, provide care, accompany them to places they enjoy, and offer calm, consistent support tailored to each person’s unique needs.

💛 At ICH we provide our carers with the tools they need to understand those they are caring for and it’s often the small things that matter most - noticing a change in mood, understanding someone’s communication style, or helping them feel safe and comfortable during their day. These moments are the heart of good professional care.

🌱 As our services grow, we’re welcoming new carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West of England, have a naturally compassionate nature, and enjoy working as part of a supportive team, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

🤗 National Inclusion Week at ICH Somerset 🤗

♥️ Next week at In Caring Hands (ICH) is all about inclusion, it’s about creating a workplace where kindness is the norm, where every voice matters, and where everyone belongs.

🗓️ National Inclusion Week is from the 14th to 20th of September. With our community care team in Somerset we see the same truth again and again: When carers feel valued, included and happy, the people they support feel it too.

☺️ As part of our profound and multiple learning disability (PMLD) service, inclusion is the way we greet each other, the way we listen, support, laugh, and lift one another up. It’s the way our carers feel safe to be themselves, and the way our service users feel when looked after by people who understand them and genuinely care.

🫶 As our services grow, we’re welcoming new carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West UK, have a naturally compassionate nature, and love working as part of a supportive team, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

🤗 Urology Awareness Month at ICH Somerset 🤗

♥️ For many people with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), understanding and communicating discomfort or changes in their bladder or urinary health can be difficult. That’s why at In Caring Hands (ICH) our carers’ awareness, patience and attentiveness matter so much.

🗓️ Urology conditions are incredibly common; in fact, one in two people will experience one in their lifetime, which is why Urology Awareness Month is so important and serves as a great reminder.

🏡 At ICH in Somerset, we provide care for people with PMLD in the local community.

💛 Our carers are trained to notice even small signs of a problem: changes in routine, discomfort, restlessness, or subtle shifts in behaviour. These observations help us protect the dignity, comfort and health of the people we care for.

☺️ As part of our PMLD service, supporting urology health isn’t just about clinical awareness, it’s about connection, about knowing each person’s unique ways of communicating. We provide a calm, trusting environment where service users feel safe, understood and cared for.

🫶 As our services grow, we’re welcoming new carers to join us. If you’re based in the South West of England, have a naturally compassionate nature, and love working as part of a supportive team, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
