Our Supported Living
Transitioning
Transitioning into Supported Living can be a challenging time for everyone concerned. It’s why we encourage you to build relationships with key workers and follow a defined plan on the road to a sustainable outcome. Families can play a key role in the process by spending time at the project and engaging with the creation of a person-centred support plan with staff members. It’s the first step towards important transition goals that are:
- Outcome orientated
- Based on your strengths and areas of need
- Focused on living skills and Education/Employment
Working closely with you, your family and external professionals from the referral stage onwards helps us build strong relationships from the outset that, we believe, leads to better outcomes.
It’s why we encourage visits from potential individuals at a very early stage. It helps us get to know you, helps you get to know us and establishes a strong foundation upon which key workers can build a productive relationship prior to admission
