Help with ordinary life.Not a standard package.
Some people need support in their own tenancy. Others need visits at home and out in the community. Hours can include evenings, nights and 24-hour support when that is assessed and commissioned. We do not provide the housing.
Two ways support can look
Some people need support in a supported living arrangement, with their own tenancy. Others need practical help at home or out in the community, without living in a supported living scheme. The standards of listening, consistency and dignity are the same.
Community and outreach support
Visits at home and support out in the community, often a few hours a week upwards, shaped around daily life.
