About This Service
For some individuals supported accommodation is more relevant in terms of managing a degree of independence and maintaining good health and a sense of security rather than intense focus on recovery.
Support workers get to know the individual within their own environment by building solid relationships which enable them to acquire in-depth knowledge of how the person’s condition affects their specific situation. Service delivery is relevant to each tenant and through personalised plans, seek to ensure that support has a positive impact on individuals
This is a high impact, high energy prevention service that will focus on small positive steps, and continuous improvement to reach specific desired outcomes.
Supported Housing
Our supported housing includes 2 houses Clarkson (4 bed) and Warkton (3 bed) with shared living space and gardens. There is also 10 self-contained flats, across 2 different sites, Highfield and Avondale. Avondale has an additional shared communal lounge.
In all these environments, our trained staff work alongside tenants to identify their individual goals and aspirations and the support they need to make these ambitions a reality.
The supported housing route offers a security of tenure for individuals who experience long-term and enduring mental health problems.
Pennels Rehabilitation
Pennels is a large 7 bed house with shared living space and gardens. 5 rooms have ensuites and 2 rooms share a bathroom.
It offers short/medium term supported accommodation (18 months) – aimed at individuals who have rehabilitation needs and are unable to manage their lives independently. This may include individuals making the transition from in-patient care back to the community.
Each tenant will be assessed for abilities for independent living and a personalised re-ablement plan will be drawn up. This plan, and its stated goals, will guide the support offered to the individual.
Individuals sign a Licence and support agreement when they move in. The support is intensive yet at a pace that suits each person. The tenant’s forum and house meetings are integral to inclusion and involvement in the life of the house and developing personal responsibility.
