© 2015 autonomy
In 2011 as a team of three we left our jobs in specialist adult healthcare and formed autonomy. Our aim is simply to become the best new independent regional care provider. Having achieved Excellent CQC ratings, National Care Awards, Quality Marks and respect from MDT peers for delivering successful outcomes, our next goal is to build on what we’ve always done well; delivering a truly person-centred, ordinary-life approach with PLAN A. by autonomy. Our passion, knowledge and expertise is underpinned by the principle of doing what we say we’re going to do, better than the rest, providing unique and innovative opportunities to improve the lives of the people we work with.
