Supported Living Care is a type of care service we provide to assist individuals who require support with their daily living activities due to physical, mental, or cognitive disorders.
We aim to empower individuals to live as independently as possible while providing them with the necessary support and assistance tailored to their specific needs.
Our focus is on promoting personal choice, autonomy, and inclusion within the community.
Here are key aspects of our Supported Living Care:
Individualised Support: Supported Living Care is highly person-centred, meaning that the support we provide is tailored to the unique needs, preferences, and goals of everyone. Our care plans are developed in collaboration with the individual, their family, and healthcare professionals to ensure that the support is aligned with their aspirations and promotes their well-being.
Accommodation: Individuals receiving Supported Living Care typically reside in their own rented or owned accommodation, such as apartments, houses, or specialised group homes. The accommodation is adapted and equipped to meet their specific requirements, ensuring accessibility and safety.
Personal Care: The level of personal care and assistance provided in Supported Living Care varies depending on the needs of the individual. It would encompass activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, meal preparation, and mobility support. Our trained caregivers or support workers are available to assist individuals with these tasks based on their individual care plans.
Independent Living Skills: We focus on promoting and enhancing individuals' independent living skills to the best of their abilities. This includes supporting individuals in learning or maintaining skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, managing personal affairs, and using public transportation. Our goal is to foster self-sufficiency and enable individuals to participate actively in their communities.
Emotional and Social Support: In addition to practical assistance, our care also emphasizes emotional and social support. Our support workers or care staff develop strong relationships with individuals to understand their emotional well-being, provide companionship, and assist with social integration. This involves facilitating participation in social activities, and community events, and connecting individuals with local support networks.
Health and Medical Support: We also offer health and medical support. This would involve coordinating and arranging medical appointments, assisting with medication management, monitoring health conditions, and ensuring individuals have access to necessary healthcare services. Our support staff work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure the individual's health needs are met effectively.
Staffing and Monitoring: Our Supported Living Care services typically have a team of dedicated staff, including support workers, care coordinators, and managers. These professionals undergo training to develop the skills and knowledge required to provide quality care and support. Regular monitoring and assessments are conducted to ensure the well-being and safety of the individuals receiving care.
In a nutshell, our Supported Living Care is designed to promote independence, dignity, and quality of life for individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. This enables them to have greater control over their lives, make choices, and participate in their communities, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment.
