Approach:
Supported living is designed to empower individuals to live more independently while providing tailored assistance with daily living activities. The approach is person-centred, prioritising individual goals and fostering self-sufficiency. Support is available as needed, rather than on a strict 24-hour basis, which allows individuals to retain control over their lives.
Individual Empowerment: Focuses on developing skills and providing tools for individuals to manage daily tasks, from personal care to managing finances.
Flexible Support: Staff are available for assistance when needed, ensuring safety while promoting autonomy.
Personalised Goals: Service users are encouraged to set personal goals, such as improving social skills or gaining employment, with support from Complex Care 24 to achieve these.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Independence: Service users benefit from the freedom to make decisions while knowing support is accessible when required.
- Skill Development: Supported living programs often include training and skill-building sessions that help individuals improve their independence in areas such as cooking, cleaning, and financial management.
- Social Integration: Being part of a supported living community allows individuals to form relationships with others in similar situations, which can foster a sense of community and reduce isolation.
What to Expect: Service users can expect an environment that values their autonomy and encourages self-directed living. They’ll have access to support staff when needed but will retain the ability to make decisions about their daily routines, activities, and lifestyle choices. This environment is ideal for those who want to live independently but benefit from occasional guidance or assistance.
