Review from G C (Father of Client) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are extremely pleased with the quality of care being provided. The management team are really on top of all aspects of his care arrangements. His small team who provide one to one care is truly outstanding. Our son has had several emergency medical challenges over the recent past. His team acted
so professionally and were complimented by the paramedics and hospital staff which is testament to how well they performed. The team endeavor to find stimulating activities and one of his team took him to an activity centre for a few days which must have been so exhausting for her but so wonderfully enjoyable for our son. Our son is very happy in his home, and we are so relived and contented with his care. If we have any concerns they are quickly resolved.

Emma Fox

Job Title: Registered Area Manager

My name is Emma Fox, and I am the Registered Area Manager here at Realise. I began working for the company in January 2015, starting off as a senior support worker. I have worked in various roles within Realise, which has helped me have a strong understanding of the organisation and our values.


Before working at Realise, I worked in a variety of different care settings, from nursing homes to learning disability residential homes. Caring runs in my family, with my Mum working in care and my Nan before her. It is safe to say, working in learning disabilities is my passion, and I come to work every day loving what I do.


I am a Positive Behaviour Support Coach, and this is an approach that I feel very strongly about, as the aim of PBS is to improve a person’s quality of life and that of the people around them. This culture runs deep within Realise, and I am incredibly proud of that.
