Across Devon, we want more people to live independently in their own homes in the community, to benefit from support that is strengths-based and live the life that is right for them.
We want to create fairer, healthier, more inclusive and caring communities where people feel safe and connected within their community, and able to help themselves and each other.
Together, we are seeking to create conditions in which people can lead fulfilling lives, through being:
- independent – people who are ambitious about living lives they have choice in and control over
- informed – people who know how they can get the support they need, when they need it, to help with the things that matter most to them
- secure – people who feel safe and confident that they can make choices about how they live
- connected – people who have rewarding relationships and involvement with their family, social networks, and communities rather than feeling lonely or isolated
