Whatever their needs every child and young person has the right to take part fully in the world around them and to enjoy the same experiences as everyone else.
Crossroads Care West Sussex is on hand to give short breaks to disabled children and young people ages 5 - 19 and enable them to do what they want to do.
How it all works
Crossroads Care will meet the disabled child or young person along with their parents and carers at home to talk about what is wanted. Then a service will be individually designed for anyone who is in receipt of, or eligible to receive Disability Living Allowance at the medium or high rates.
This will give support for up to four hours a fortnight. Time for short breaks - for visits, creative activities, sports, hobbies and social get togethers. The intention is to empower disabled children and young people to fulfil their potential and to live as ordinary a life as possible.
Crossroads Care is really aiming high for disabled children and young people and knows that reliability, flexibility and continuity are vital.
Staff are fully trained in all aspects of practical care and are sensitive to the physical and emotional pressures of life.
