| SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN
THEIR OWN HOME |
|
|
If you need support to stay in your own home or
your family home, we can help you.
|
|
|
Our staff have experience of supporting people who have learning disabilities, physical
disabilities, mental health problems, dementia, physical health
problems, communication difficulties, behavioural difficulties, sensory impairments.
You can
contact us direct, or ask a social work or health professional to
contact us on your behalf. We will then offer
you:
|
|
|
|
a person centred planning process,
to help you identify what you want out of life and what
kind of support you need to help you get it
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a
financial assessment to help you identify
what your support might
cost and how these costs might be met
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a
range of supports (with an agreed support
plan), worked out in partnership with you, your family and any
social work or health professionals involved in your
care. This could include assistance with aspects
of everyday living, learning new skills, meeting people, doing
interesting things in the community
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to be involved, with your
family if you choose, in the selection and
training
of the staff who will support you
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the opportunity to be involved, with your
family if you choose, in monitoring and
evaluating the support you get and making sure the
results
feed into planning your future
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to
direct support staff, we have a small team whose job it is to help
identify or create opportunities
for you to develop your interests and meet new people. They will work
with the person centred planning process and then
with your support staff to help you realise your personal goals.
|
|
If you need help
to find somewhere to live, we will help you negotiate with housing
associations, if you want to rent, or if you want to buy, we will help you negotiate with banks and building societies. If some of your support costs
can be met from Supported People funding, we will help you complete the appropriate applications.
