Our Supported Independence service provides the support you (or your loved one) need to lead the life you choose! We work alongside people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and anyone else with a social care need from the age of 13 and upwards.
We offer support with housekeeping and personal care, and we go beyond this. We look for opportunities to increase your skills and abilities to enhance your independence. We also work with you to build your confidence to achieve your goals.
Our support can also provide respite from caring duties for family members, so you can all enjoy your time together more.
You can access our flexible support options from as little as one hour per week or can book a block of up to several hours per day, at times that work best for you. This could be once a month, once a week or as many days as you prefer. We can also provide support multiple times in one day if preferred.
We also provide private support and accept Individual Service Fund (ISF) and direct payments. We offer competitive rates to private payers – get in touch to find out more.
We proudly work in partnership with social workers, the NHS, social care groups, charities and mental health organisations to support with:
Physical Health
We will support you to maintain or improve your physical health. We support you to book GP Appointments, annual health checks, collect prescriptions and prescribed medications. We can also support you taking your medication correctly and we can support you with personal care.
We can help you eat healthily with meal planning and preparation as well as encourage you to maintain your physical fitness by supporting you to go to the gym, walk regularly, go swimming or whatever works for you.
Emotional Wellbeing
We will support your mental health and emotional well-being by empowering you to access the community, get out and about, make and keep friendships and other relationships, and pursue your interests and hobbies.
We are proud of creating great relationships with those we provide support to contribute to overall emotional well-being. Rather than telling you what to do, we listen to your concerns and ideas.
Everyday Life
We will support you to get through the general administration tasks necessary to live well such as budgeting, managing bills, responding to letters/emails, and both organising and attending appointments.
We also support with keeping your home safe, clean, and healthy by supporting with tasks such as checking smoke alarms and maintaining cleanliness.
Goals & Dreams
If you need support to achieve a goal, we can help. Whether you need to re-organise your home, perform a spring clean, or even support you to learn a new skill.
We also love to support you to achieve your bigger dreams, whether that’s taking a trip, getting a job, or even getting married!
Our warm and friendly team are looking forward to meeting you and helping you to lead the life you choose!
Lead the Life You Choose
It’s not just about us supporting you just to meet your needs, we can help you to do the things you WANT to do, at home and in the community. We support our customers in many ways, read more below:
