π£ We had an amazing time visiting City of Bristol College
Our team loved speaking with students about the incredible career opportunities waiting for them in Adult Social Care, a sector full of compassion, purpose, and real impact. β€οΈ
We also spent time demystifying Digital & Data in Health & Adult Social Care, helping students understand how technology and information are changing the way we support people every day. From digital care plans to smart assistive devices, these innovations improve care, boost efficiency, and empower individuals to live more independently. π‘π±β¨
A huge thank you to the students and staff for the warm welcome! Weβre excited to inspire the next generation of care professionals. π

Silva Care was first registered as a company in July 2007 with one supported living house and one short breaks house, plus a small amount of community Outreach services. The ethos of the company was very much about providing personalised and high-quality support for people with learning disabilities in their local communities, and about providing access to a wide range of social, leisure, training and development opportunities. We started with approximately 30 staff and have steadily grown over the past 11 years.
Our community Outreach services expanded quite significantly, and a number of people we support did need access to a building where they could meet with peers, have access to facilities such as a kitchen, accessible bathrooms and sensory equipment so in 2010 we opened our first outreach base called South park in the south of Bristol. Since then we have added two more community bases, North park in 2013 and Ruthven in 2017.
Our short breaks house in Frenchay proved very popular, and we found ourselves with a waiting list for the service. In 2010 we added Station Rd, Filton, and then The Cherries in Redland in 2014 and Penn Drive, Frenchay in 2014. As all of our short breaks services were in north or central Bristol we decided to open a south Bristol short breaks service, Churchways, in 2015. When people come and stay with us there are lots of opportunities to socialize and go out to lots of different activities such as the cinema, bowling, the pub, and weekend trips.
Some people using our short breaks and outreach services had developed increasing independence skills and were ready for a move away from home. I am pleased to say that as they were happy with our services we were asked to support their move to their own accommodation. This led us to developing our supported living services. We opened New rd in 2011, the Bramleys in 2013, the hazels in 2014, and stoke lane in 2017 and Bradley stoke in 2018. All of the houses provide shared accommodation and support with no more than four people living at each house. In addition, we also provide 24hrs support for some people living in single person accommodation.
We now support over 219 people and have over 250 staff across all of our services and maintain our ethos of person centred high quality community-based support.
