A Little Bit About Us!

DI provides a high standard of care and social rehabilitation that recognises the personal dignity, choices and freedom of the individual, whilst working towards maximising independence and responsibility. 

A client can be referred by a Care Manager or other third party such as a GP or even refer themselves directly to DI.

Following an initial assessment by DI’s Occupational Therapist, an individual care plan (ICP) is drawn up that ensures the necessary day-to-day care, agreed goals and choice of courses, therapies, activities, independent living or return to work skills that suit each person.   This ICP is regularly reviewed by their allocated keyworker and adapted as a client progresses.  All of our services are supported by qualified staff to allow DI to measure outcomes and ‘distance travelled’ as a client works towards their agreed goal.

DI has a large dedicated IT suite comprising over 20 computers with a wide assortment of specialist equipment to cater for every need including adjustable desks and an interactive computer whiteboard.  We also have two adapted kitchens, a workshop, an art area, three therapy areas, functional mobility and many activity rooms for group or private sessions.   

Clients attend the resource centre from between one and five days a week.  We are open at 9.00 a.m until 4.00 p.m Monday to Friday although we are closed for bank holidays and the days between Christmas and New Year.  In addition to our activities, we provide lunch and refreshments throughout the day at a small charge.

DI works with adults with a range of disabilities and a variety of needs.

If you are 21, 41 or 61, DI offers something to meet your requirements.
