Optua Support provides a range of flexible community-based support services for people with physical, learning and sensory disabilities and older people. We also have experience in providing specialised support for people with an acquired brain injury.
We have a positive and creative approach to supporting people to have as much independence, control and choice as possible in their lives.
Optua's Support service draws upon the wealth of experience and expertise Optua has in supporting disabled people. We have developed a more innovative, flexible and responsive service which can provide support to more people across a wider area of Suffolk.
Everything we do aims to put the person we're supporting at the centre of the support they receive so it suits their needs and wishes. This may be for just a few hours a week or 24 hours a day.
