Isaac's Story
Isaac was born with a rare genetic condition that manifested as profound medical, social, emotional, physical and behavioural needs. At age 18, he transitioned into a group care home. Unfortunately, this broke down within three years. He had deteriorated to the point that he had to wear a helmet due to extreme self-harm, was isolating in his room and had a significantly restricted diet. Any interaction with family could only take place outside of the home, in his Motability vehicle on a drive. In November 2022, a multi-disciplinary team recommended that we look at supported living for him. READ MORE

Shane M Blackwell - Relative
"My youngest brother has had his ups and downs over the past couple of years with moving out of my parents house but Heroic Care were able to look past the initial challenges and see what we all see in the family, that my brother was struggling and had a good heart. Tom and his amazing team have turned my brothers health issues around. He is now so much more active, eating right, no longer on junk food daily and so much happier in himself. His general communication has also improved as well.
In short, all of my brothers needs are now either addressed or continued to be worked on. My entire family have commented on his overall change for the better and happy to finally see him being looked after as we had hoped. For those of you with similar cases and are lucky enough to be able to be supported by Heroic Care I'm sure you will echo my praise of the service we are able to get and how it’s like a breath of fresh air which was much needed and helps us all relax more knowing the future of our loved ones are in good hands. It is with a grateful heart that I write this small feedback to highlight the amazing service we are getting for our loved one and its with high hopes this continues. Thank you Tom and team, your services have not gone unnoticed"
Jill Thompson - Relative
"Heroic Care initially provided respite care for my grandson in his own home. Tom certainly stepped up to the mark and was really accommodating for the family's needs at a difficult time.
My grandson is now in supported living with Heroic and although he has only been there a short while, there have been noticeable improvements in his behaviour and self-confidence. He seems more relaxed and coping with his anxieties and fears in a much more controlled manner. I'm really impressed with the everyday things that my grandson has already achieved (things that we all take for granted but which are a huge challenge for him). A comprehensive care plan has been put in place for him and it all augers well for the future.
All the team are really caring and understanding, not only to my grandson but also to the whole family. They have gone out of their way and above the call of duty to help my grandson settle into his new life"
