Our story and ambitions...
Empowering Lives, Every Step of the Way
“Since opening our doors in 2014, EMA has been dedicated to helping young people with special educational needs (SEN) take charge of their futures. What began as a specialist education service quickly grew into something more, because when our first students reached adulthood, we saw a deeper need of continued support beyond the classroom.
That insight sparked the evolution of EMA’s adult social care services, built on the same values that shaped our education work, respect, individuality, and person-centred care.
In 2022, we reached a major milestone: our supported living services were officially registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), allowing us to offer personal care and medication support in-house. Just months later, our first CQC inspection rated us GOOD, a proud moment that reflects the passion and commitment of our team.
Today, EMA is thriving. We run two vibrant day provisions in Dorchester and Gillingham, and manage four supported living homes in the Dorchester area. Every service is designed to empower individuals to live independently, confidently, and with purpose.
We’re not just a care provider, we’re a community that believes everyone deserves the chance to live a life they choose.” – Craig Hutton, Head of EMA Adult Social Care
As we look ahead, our vision remains clear:
✔ Expanding Our Reach – We aim to extend our services across Dorset, ensuring that more individuals can access the right support at the right time.
✔ Enhancing Independence Through Innovation – By integrating technology, such as out-of-hours on-call systems and digital care planning, we continue to improve accessibility and safety.
✔ Strengthening Community Connections – We are committed to fostering opportunities for social engagement, employment, and meaningful participation in the wider community.
✔ Raising the Standard of Social Care – Through investment in staff development and continuous improvement, we strive to set new benchmarks for high-quality, person-centred care.
EMA Social Care is built on a foundation of expertise, compassion, and a deep commitment to empowering lives. Our journey so far has been one of growth and dedication, and our future is focused on creating even greater opportunities for those we support.
Thank you for being part of our journey.
