About Accept Care
We actively put the people we support first.
Accept Care is a not-for-profit organisation supporting adults with learning disabilities, mental-health needs and acquired brain injuries to live well in their own homes across County Durham and the wider North East.
Our approach is supported living, not residential care. That means a person keeps their own front door and their own routines, and we shape the right level of support around the life they want — building skills, confidence and community along the way.
That conviction runs right through the organisation: it was founded by people who spent their careers moving the North East away from long-stay institutions and toward genuinely person-centred support. Working together to empower people and positively change lives.
The people behind Accept Care
“Quality will be determined by the satisfaction of the people we support.”
Managing Director
A Learning Disability Nurse with over 40 years in the field, Darron has worked as a nurse and area manager and was instrumental in transforming services across the North East — including the closure of the long-stay sectors at Northgate and Prudhoe under the Valuing People agenda. He spent 19 years in commissioning, latterly developing supported-living services for Durham County Council, and founded the not-for-profit Inspire Insight CIC.
Head of Operations
Tracy is uncompromising in her passion for delivering the best possible care, and a driving force in putting the people we support first across every part of the service.
Tell us a little about them and we’ll talk through how supported living could work — no pressure, no jargon.
