As the business marks its 30th anniversary, NR Times meets its founder Maggie Sargent and learns more about the life-changing work of Community Case Management Services and its commitment to enabling people to rediscover a ‘normal’ life
From its origins in summer 1992, helping to pave the way for the acceptance and recognition of case management in the UK, Community Case Management Services has grown into one of the key players in the sector. Supporting people with brain injury and other complex needs to maximise their potential and rediscover independence and the joy of life, many clients have been with the business across the three decades it has been in existence. And keen to show what is possible in their recovery, Community Case Management Services has become known throughout the
neuro-rehabilitation sector for its adventure trips - taking clients with complex needs on holidays that offer the chance to surf and ski remains unique, and has seen countless life-changing moments for people living with severe disability. For Maggie Sargent, award-winning founder of family-owned Community Case Management Services, the principle of the business is simple. “Our clients just want to be normal - and that's what we try to create,” she says. “That's really where we come from. Our model is to create a life that is active, that is enjoyable, that is ‘normal’. Life is for living is what we say. “And that is a baseline for what we do, because we find that is so important in clinical growth. They have lives to live and we help them do that. I can’t say that enough really, because that is what we are all about.”
