At TorchCare, we prioritise exceptional care for individuals with intellectual disabilities, driven by insights from Kim Nijhof's BMC Health Services Research study on health support for this community. The vital role that support workers play in improving the health and well-being of individuals with intellectual impairments is shown by Kim Nijhof's research.


Our strategy is based on an awareness of the difficulties that people with intellectual disabilities encounter, such as their increased rates of morbidity and death. In keeping with the findings that support workers are essential in encouraging healthy habits and prompt interventions, we acknowledge the significance of support workers in preventing, recognising, and addressing health problems.


As part of its dedication, TorchCare offers support staff members thorough training and education so they can handle the particular medical demands of people with intellectual impairments. We work hard to consistently enhance our procedures and provide kind, efficient care that encourages independence by embracing knowledge from research like Kim Nijhof's.
