About Us

Venus is a proudly independent group that has been providing specialist care for over 15 years. From the day of opening the doors to our first Home, we have adopted a very progressive approach to care, accepting challenges as part of the job and reaching out to anyone in need, especially to service-users who have been failed elsewhere in the care system.
By always working collaboratively and in partnership with Commissioning Groups, Social Workers and Families, we have built up a reputation of trust for the quality and safety of care we provide.
In everything we do, we strive to improve the quality of life of those in our care and to do so with compassion and understanding. We are committed to upholding the rights of every individual to enable them to make the choices they want and exercise their own freedom for self-determination.
We use assisted technology to plan and create remarkable journeys for each individual, embracing every opportunity to give expression about the person they are, respect their dignity and strengthen their self-esteem.
