We've got an amazing success story to share from one of our clients Gemma!

At the start of the month, Gemma attended Bath College to complete a fast-track Level 2 Food Hygiene course. Fast-track means they condense a two-day course into just one day, so it was very intense. It’s also worth noting this wasn’t a course specifically designed for adults with learning difficulties.

Despite that, Gemma completed the full day of training and sat the exam at the end. This week, we received the fantastic news that she passed and now officially holds a Level 2 Food Hygiene certificate! 😊

19/06/2025

On Tuesday, we attended Business West's Demystifying Adult Social Care event in partnership with City of Bristol College.

Our senior management team spoke with students about job opportunities and gave them a glimpse into what it’s like to work in the social care sector! 😊

A few weeks ago, Jimmy had a wonderful time enjoying the sunshine with his support staff during a relaxing walk in Stokes Park 🌞💬 It’s always great to see our clients making the most of the good weather and spending quality time outdoors!

Silva Care’s Story

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.
