Since our son started at Caring Places, we've seen a real change in his confidence. He looks forward to Thursdays and comes home smiling every week. The staff genuinely care and always keep us informed about his progress.
Parent of service user
Caring Places has been a lifeline for our family. My sister has autism and struggled with other settings, but the small groups and calm environment here have made all the difference. The team are patient, warm and incredibly skilled.
Family carer
I've referred several service users to Caring Places and the feedback is always overwhelmingly positive. They take the time to understand each person's needs and build support around outcomes that matter. A fantastic resource for Derby.
