Our Support Needs & Challenges
All the people supported here hold a diagnosis of a Learning Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder or Physical Disability. Some of the people supported can at times display behaviours that can be described as challenging to services.
All the staff team have received a mandatory training to meet the needs of the people who live at the service. Alongside this they have received training specific to individuals needs, these include positive behaviour support, PICA, moving and positioning training
What is important to us?
All the people supported have moved here as other housing options have not worked for them or supported our strategy of ‘Best Lives Possible’. By moving to this service they have their ‘own front door’ and are able to fully realise their individual potential in developing independent living skills.
The people supported each have their own interests which they will pursue individually, these include things like, shopping trips, scenic drives and walks, going to sensory sessions and coffee shops. The people supported are always open to new ideas and experiences to widen their experience
