About us
Our Ethos
Cascade supports people living with
autism, mental health conditions and
learning difficulties along the road to
greater independence.
We believe all vulnerable people should receive
safe, appropriate, high-quality care with the
emphasis on health, education, community and
a first-class living environment. That’s why we
endeavour to lead the way in the provision of
this kind of care, ensuring that the principles
of rights, choice and inclusion are enshrined in
everything we do and the benchmark begins
and ends with us.
Everything we do, every intervention, every piece
of work is done together; we make things happen.
Throughout it all, we are ‘with’, and never ‘for’.
Communication skills
Understanding and using verbal
and non-verbal language.
Decision making, end of
life, planning activities.
Community use
Safeguarding
Health and safety
Responding to personal health
problems, ability to protect
oneself and others, road safety.
Each person that we care for is different in their
own way, but all with the same potential to lead
better lives.
We give opportunities to people to be the best
they can be; a chance to live a life they choose
and a place in society that they want. We ask
them how they want to live and what they want
to do. We encourage them to take positive risks.
Furthermore, we provide guidance, adaptive skills
and care. Constant, continuous, collective care;
the rest comes from them.
