What Makes Cherish We Care Different?
We pride ourselves on offering a superior service to our participants through our customer-focused approach, which enables us to empower our participants to achieve success in any way they see fit. Whether it’s providing assistance around the home, helping them attend work or training, or providing support for other activities, we offer a range of services to support people with a disability. In the near future, Cherish We Care will introduce Aged Care services such as in-home care, post-hospital care, community nursing and dementia support.
At Cherish We Care, we use a person-centred approach which involves listening, thinking together, coaching, sharing ideas, and seeking feedback. This process is ongoing to make sure each person is supported towards their personal goals, even as they evolve and change. It is our main goal to treat participants with high levels of respect and maintain confidentiality.
Our diverse background and many years of experience has equipped us with an excellent understanding and knowledge of the barriers faced by people with disability, particularly those from a Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) background. Furthermore, Cherish We Care will be involved in supporting new immigrants from war torn zones in Africa by providing assistance with community integration.
