The D.O.V.E. Project

 

 

 

The DOVE Project provides support for persons with learning difficulties and mental health needs throughout all areas of Devon including Plymouth, Ivybridge, Exeter and Barnstaple and Cornwall.

Our ethos
To help the persons we support to live more fulfilling and rewarding lives and to gain increased independence and always remembering your life is about what you want, where you want to live and what you want to achieve.

The DOVE Project started in 1995 and has been steadily growing in the years that have followed. The success of The DOVE Project services is measured by the outcomes achieved for those we support.

Awarded a 3 Star Rating from the Care Quality Commission on its most recent inspection.

ABOUT US
n delivering services to meet our ethos and values we follow a number of important principles:-

Personalisation
Each person is an individual. We are not all the same. An effective service which achieves positive outcomes recognises the need to respect who you are, what you hope to be able to do, where you may wish to live, whether alone or with others to share.

Planning
We all make plans about our futures. We will help you with your plan. It is called a person-centred plan because it is about you.

Flexibility
Our services are designed to fit around your lifestyle with hours convenient to you, accommodating changes when you wish to make them recognising that needs change.

Staffing
You will be involved in the recruitment of the staff who support you. This ensures that the staff are people you like and who you get on with and whom you can trust.

Circles of Support
We engage with your family, your friends, work colleagues, all those persons who are important to you in your life.
