About

Our Commitment to Excellence

At Deaconstar, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of adults with learning disabilities in County Durham and surrounding areas. Our journey began 22 years ago, with a simple but profound mission: to provide exceptional support services and day services that empower individuals to lead fulfilling lives. It’s what we do every day. 

Supported Living Services

Enhancing Independence and Outcomes for Vulnerable Adults

At Deaconstar, we offer care and support services tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of adults with learning disabilities. Our person-centered approach ensures that every individual receives the care and support they deserve. Whilst we can provide care and support services into any property, we specialise in providing alongside our care and support services, purpose built, high quality supported living properties. We do so by working alongside established developers and reputable providers of social housing. This way, we can comprehensively meet the needs of commissioners and the people to whom we provide care and support. 

Day Services

Our Day Services

Our newly refurbished day centre provides over 1,800sqm of useable space. From a range of spaces supporting everything from a dance studio, to an IT skills and gaming space, through to arts, craft and sensory spaces and events rooms of various sizes. Deaconstar offer a comprehensive range of activities and services tailored to meet the unique needs and aspirations of adults with learning disabilities. Our person-centered approach to day services ensures that every individual receives the care and support they want. 

In 2025, we will be complimenting the current offering with an independent living suite, recreating spaces our service users use in their everyday lives and allowing us to tailor our support for managing those situations and challenges.
