AddressCOREASSIST was founded out of a sincere concern for the health and happiness of people with disabilities. Our team helps people with a wide variety of needs, such as those with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, ABIs, Alzheimer's, dementia, and mental health issues, to live more independently and realise their full potential.
