At Moonrise, we understand that every journey presents unique challenges, which is why risk assessments are at the heart of our transport services . Careful planning ensures that every trip is not only safe but is also comfortable and reassuring for the people we support. A risk assessment allows

Running a care home is rewarding, but it’s no secret that staffing challenges can put pressure on managers, staff, and residents alike.

As 2025 draws to a close, I find myself reflecting on a year that has challenged us, strengthened us, and reaffirmed why we do what we do. At Moonrise, our mission has always been to provide compassionate, high-quality care and support, and this year, that mission has continued to guide our every step. Growth […]

Living with a disability shapes life in many ways, I should know! I was born with Spina Bifida and have done things a little differently throughout my life starting with walking with Splints and Crutches up until I was ten years old, when I started to use a wheelchair. Many people would think the […]

Transport is often taken for granted, but for many people who receive care or support, the journey itself can be just as important as the destination. Whether it’s attending school, work, appointments, or social activities, the way someone travels can have a significant impact on their independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing. That’s why personalised transport […]

World Children’s Day is a chance to celebrate children, their potential, and the resilience they show every day.

In health and social care, the safe administration of medication is one of the most vital responsibilities that care professionals hold. Whether in domiciliary care, supported living, or children’s residential services, ensuring that staff are confident and competent in medication management directly impacts the safety and wellbeing of the people we support. At Moonrise, we […]

At Moonrise, we know that food is far more than just fuel — it’s a vital part of daily life, a source of comfort, culture, connection, and care. In our supported living services, promoting healthy eating isn’t about restriction or rigid rules — it’s about empowering individuals to make informed choices, develop life skills, and […]

For many of us, getting from one place to another is something we take for granted. But for children, young people, and adults who may have additional needs, transport is not always simple. Sometimes, it can feel like a barrier that limits opportunities, independence, and connection. That’s why safe transport is so important—it isn’t just […]

How to Recognise and Prevent Burnout Caring for others is one of the most rewarding things a person can do — but it can also be physically, mentally, and emotionally draining. Whether you’re a professional carer or a family member providing support at home, burnout is a very real risk if your own wellbeing is […]

When it comes to delivering care that truly makes a difference, one approach stands out above all others: person-centred care. It’s more than just a method — it’s a mindset. A way of seeing people not as tasks to complete, but as individuals with stories, preferences, emotions, and rights. When care is person-centred, it doesn’t […]

A dementia diagnosis can change many things — but it should never erase a person’s identity, dignity, or value. At Moonrise, we believe that high-quality dementia care starts with a simple but powerful commitment: seeing the person behind the condition. Every individual living with dementia has a life story, a personality, memories, preferences, and feelings […]

Supported living isn’t just about meeting daily needs — it’s about creating a space where people can grow in confidence and independence. Central to this journey are life skills — the everyday abilities that help someone feel capable, involved, and in control of their own life. For many people in supported living, developing these skills […]

When a child enters care, they often bring with them more than just a suitcase — they carry with them invisible wounds that have been shaped by trauma, neglect, loss, or abuse. At Moonrise, we believe that healing begins with understanding. That’s why our Children’s Services are deeply rooted in therapeutic care — an approach […]

At Moonrise, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to express themselves, connect with others, and feel proud of who they are. For people with autism or learning disabilities, creativity can be a powerful key to unlocking all of that, and more. Creative expression is not just enjoyable, its essential. Many people with autism or […]

At the heart of any truly effective care is partnership and collaboration, not only with the individual receiving support but also with their loved ones. Families and close friends often know a person’s history, preferences, and goals better than anyone else. That’s why they are involved in every stage of care planning. At Moonrise we […]

Every individual deserves the chance to live with dignity, independence, and purpose. For people with disabilities, mental health needs, or complex care requirements this can sometimes be difficult, supported living offers a way to achieve it as it is more than just a support service, it’s a pathway to a fuller, more empowered life. As […]

For Moonrise, when it comes to our transport services it is vital that we understand the difference between safe and secure. Though the two phrases are often used together, these two terms describe different aspects of our professional transport service. At Moonrise, we prioritise both – because protecting the people we serve means more than […]

One year ago, if you’d told me where Moonrise would be today, I probably would’ve smiled politely, nodded, and thought, “Sure, sounds nice.” But wow what a ride it’s been. Like any big adventure, there were bumps, wrong turns, and the occasional “What are we even doing?” moments. But more than anything, this year has […]
