More Information


TO BECOME A TENANT

If you have a disability and are interested in living at any of the

above sites, you need to obtain the support of your social worker.

If you do not have a social worker you can contact us direct at

any of the sites. We can arrange for you to visit to see if you like

the complex and feel that you would fit in. Together with Social

Services, we will assess whether living in this type of supported

accommodation will be beneficial to you.

WAITING LIST

Due to the popular demand for this type of supported

accommodation, it is unlikely that you will be given a place

immediately, but if accepted you will be able to put your name on

our waiting list.

PROCEDURE

The social worker and the centre manager will discuss the type

and amount of support that each tenant requires. Following this, a

care package will be set in place before the tenant moves in.

Support provided by on site staff will be along the lines of

planning, organisation, managing money and paying bills,

prompting with medication and appointments, prompting with all

domestic and household tasks, reassurance and emotional

support.

Meeting neighbours is actively encouraged while leisure activities

and social clubs take place in the community room, as well as off

site. Tenants are supported to integrate in order to improve social

skills and confidence and reduce isolation and loneliness.

The staff team provide on site cover and each property is fitted

with an emergency alarm call system. If required, additional

support will be provided by other agencies, such as community

psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists and speech therapists,

social workers, volunteers, home support workers and home care.

MOVING ON

After regaining skills and becoming more capable, some tenants

feel able to move on to fully independent living, away from our

sites. Tenants moving on will be supported by local staff and a

Headway out-reach worker or out-reach from an appropriate

team.
