These services are truly based around the needs of the individual and give the service user the maximum amount of choice.
Typically, upon receipt of a referral we will work with our property partners to source a property which is right for that client. This will reflect the wants and needs of the individual but will also reflect the wider considerations of their MDT and taking into account environmental specifications so that necessary adaptations can be made.
Once the property is decided upon we then work with the client to select a dedicated staff team who will meet their needs in terms of age, gender, experience etc. All staff will be fully trained through our organisational training programme and in addition will be given any specific training required to meet the needs of that service user.
This model allows us to place clients in sustainable services which will see them settled into their own home for as long as they wish to be there, giving them the stability and continuity they may have lacked in the past.
This allows us to accommodate a range of needs as each team is built and trained with that one service user in mind.
This is a tried and tested model which has led to some real successes with clients who have been stuck in hospital for long periods of time, where their behaviours can be exacerbated by a triggering environment.
