We believe there are too many tokenistic examples of person centred care in our sector and that this causes barriers to recovery and personal growth. Supported living should be far more than a residential environment with care available on site to meet sporadic needs. People should be supported and empowered in all aspects of their lives to be the best version of themselves. We live these beliefs for our clients and our staff in everything that we do.
Our approach
Translating humanistic principles into all aspects of our practice, we champion the humanistic approach to human development. Providing individually tailored psychotherapeutic programmes of support across services, our model differs from traditional models of supported living.
Alongside the individual we look holistically at all aspects of their life and target support in areas that will make a positive difference to their development and autonomy. In this way individuals take ownership of their personal growth and capacity to lead a fulfilled and enriched life.
Valuing everyone for who they are and creating positive working relationships allows people to explore their identity and values individually and collectively, moving forward in areas that are important to them.
Co-production
We champion humanistic principles of support and actively seek to ensure we do not fall into the commonly seen tokenistic examples of person centredness in our sector.
Co-production is a fundamental ethos of the organisation, all aspects of service delivery are co-produced with our clients, thus empowering them to become the decision makers rather than merely taking part. Implementing this fundamental principle enables us to genuinely support individuals and to have a collective ‘one voice’ approach as we work together to enable each person to increase their autonomy and take control of their life.
Enhanced Supported Living
Our enhanced supported living services provide support to clients who have had long psychiatric stays, may be institutionalised and require a significant level of daily support. These services also support clients who may have a history of offending and significantly higher risks than clients that may reside in a typical supported living setting. Subsequently, the living environments in these services are designed to allow for Court of Protection approved DoLS orders to be safely and effectively implemented where appropriate.
Supported Living
Our supported living services provide 24/7 support with waking night staff for adults on the Autism Spectrum and those with mental health conditions. Our clients benefit from individually structured therapeutic programmes focusing on increasing autonomy in various aspects of their lives with the view of positive move-on into lesser supported environments.
Floating Support
Our floating support services provide a pathway for our clients to step down from our 24/7 supported settings into more independent settings with a package of support tailored to their needs.
Semi-Independent Living
These services provide step-down, self-contained accommodation to clients stepping down from our supported living services or residential care type settings.
Community Outreach Team
Our outreach team works across West Yorkshire providing a wide range of support to people in their own homes, this ranges from support in finding employment opportunities, education, support with bills and forms, support with activities of daily living or simply providing social support.
Our outreach support can be specific and time limited, for example, a period of support to provide travel training for someone or our support can be on-going with no set end date.
