Supported Living Services
Our specialist supported living services provide individually tailored packages of support that enable people with a range of disabilities and complex needs, including mental health needs, to live independent lifestyles of their choosing including access to education and employment.
Working in partnership with housing providers we provide a range of innovative housing solutions including shared housing, studio flats and self contained flats that are designed to reflect what is most suited to an individual’s needs and wishes. Where required, our services have been adapted to meet specific sensory and physical needs.
Our specialist staff teams include dedicated Tenant Liaison Officers who support tenants to maintain their own tenancies.
Our services promote greater choice, control and independence.
Outreach and home support
Our outreach and home support services support you to live as independently as possible in your family home, your own home or in the community.
We can provide support at a time you choose, from 1 hour to 24 hours a day. What we support you with is your choice, but it could include the following:
- Personal care
- Daily living and independence skills
- Support with medication
- Support with eating and drinking (including PEG feeding)
- Finances and budgeting
- Support to access education and/or employment
- Social and leisure activities
- Appointments
- Health and fitness
- Holidays
- Cultural or religious needs
- Sleep-in/waking night staff
We are experienced in supporting people with personal budgets and direct payments and can give you support and advice on these.
We can help you recruit your support staff, including advertising, interviewing and taking care of all the paperwork. All staff will receive comprehensive training to ensure that they can meet your individual needs.
We currently provide outreach and home support in Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Newport, however we will be expanding this service to other areas in the future.
Support in the Community and Day Skills
Using our person centred approach we support individuals to become active and contributing members of their local communities. The type, level and duration of the support we provide is highly flexible and varies from a couple of hours a week to more intensive daily support. The services can be delivered on an individual or group basis.
We are chosen to provide support by those who want to access their local communities from their own flats or whilst living with families or carers. Support varies significantly from helping with weekly shopping to attending local appointments. We also support a significant number of people to access social, leisure, educational or employment opportunities of their choosing.
Residential Adult Services
Over the last year many of those who have chosen us to provide active support have successfully moved to greater independence in supported living.
Our services all support service users through our Person Centred Active Support approach. They provide highly personalised, safe and fun environments where service users can develop their social, communication and life skills with a view to gaining greater levels of independence, including education and employment.
Our services are specifically adapted as required to meet any additional needs such as limited mobility, physical disabilities and complex healthcare conditions. Where appropriate we invest in Assistive Technology (AT), specialised equipment and communication aids to maintain and improve independence.
Using Person Centred Planning we support choice and access to social, educational and employment activities. People are encouraged to meaningfully contribute to the day to day running of their services including recruiting staff.
Residential Children's Services
We provide specialist care and therapy to children with learning disabilities and complex physical and health needs, mental health needs and Autistic Spectrum Disorders in services that are homely, safe, fun and specially adapted to meet the individual needs of the children who live there.
Using Person Centred Planning and a multidisciplinary approach each child has a stimulating daily programme of activities that includes accessing the national curriculum at local schools and colleges.
Daily programmes are designed to encourage personal development, increase self confidence and facilitate transition into more independent lives.
