Supported Living – South West (Gloucester, Bristol, Swindon and Weston-super-Mare)

Our specialist Supported Living and Outreach services in the South West (Gloucester, Bristol, Swindon and Weston-super-Mare) provide support for people with Mental Health needs, Autism, Learning Disabilities and Acquired Brain Injuries.

We understand the importance of providing person-centred support which enables independence and meets individual’s needs. Through our outcome focussed approach, we support people to maintain choice and control of their own lives.

We meet with each person referred and their family so that we can develop a strong understanding of their life story, any support or communication needs and their personal aspirations. We work in partnership with Local Health Professionals such as social workers, community nurses, and specialists such as Speech and Language Therapists, Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists.

Person Centred Planning

Our staff support each person to create a person-centred plan that tells us how they want to live their life now and in the future. Through a range of communication tools, we ensure that each person is closely involved in the development of their own plan.

Some examples of how we have supported people include:

• Working towards independence with personal care tasks
• Skills building to manage money
• Travel training to gain confidence and independence
• Learning to stay healthy and exercising
• Support with medication and health appointments
• Discovering new hobbies, getting out and having fun!
• Accessing vocational training and work experience
• Managing correspondence and bills
• Building social skills and expanding social circles
• Access to Independent advocacy

Our supported living service provides bespoke packages of up to 24-hour support, including overnight support when needed. This can be provided within the family home or a person’s own supported tenancy.
