Services

The Supported Living Service can provide various ways for service users to enjoy social activities, hobbies, and leisure interests. Service users are consulted individually regarding their interests and wishes regarding social activities as part of the individual and personalised care planning process and at service users’ meetings.

We provide a 24/7 supported living service in which experienced care staff can provide service users with Learning Disabilities and Autism with personal care, medication, meals (if required), and activities.

The Supported Living Service is run by a Registered Manager, one Senior Care Support Worker, and six key workers. The above Registered Manager and staff centred within the service, support service users 24/7. The Supported Living Service is run on both a day and night duty shift (6 am—10 pm/10 pm-8 am)—this allows for handover and full staff coverage initially in the morning.

As part of the Supported Living Service, care staff will help service users with daily living tasks such as:

  • Prompting service users with personal care and hygiene.
  • Prompting service users with getting dressed.
  • Enabling service users to prepare/ or provide meals and assistance to take their medications.
