Supported Living

Supported Living

The Supported Living service provides care/support & housing support service to individuals living in their own home.  We aim to work in partnership with the individuals to provide a homely, safe and supported environment for adults with a learning disability. The service seeks to enable people to achieve autonomy and choice in the support they receive and the lives that they pursue.

Support staff will promote the human rights of the individuals both as a person and as a tenant.  The staff promote the development of each individual’s life skills and their inclusion within the local community, including the use of appropriate leisure and recreation activities, within a person centred framework and which recognises and promotes a person’s spiritual and cultural needs.

Staffing resources are used to ensure a high quality of support is maintained which affords continuity and accountability for all work practices.

Our key objectives are designed to: –

  • Engage in regular community experiences by being supported to use local resources.
  • Experience maximum choice and participation in their support arrangements by being involved in developing their own support plans.
  • Receive individually tailored support programmes to enable individuals to achieve maximum control of all aspects of their lives by assessing and planning their support needs with relevant others.
  • Promotion of a person centred approach.
  • Regular consultation with tenants on the everyday service.
  • Enjoy a greater circle of informal support in their lives. This is achieved with greater participation in the community.

Quality Improvement

Granville Manor Supported Living recently commenced a quality improvement piece of work to create Individualised Activity Plans for each tenant. These plans will be created with input from the tenant, families/ carers and staff. The plans will inform activities for tenants throughout their week and add to a greater quality of life. Different communication tools will be used with tenants according to ability to ensure that their voice and opinion is heard, such communication tools as ‘Talking Mats’ and ‘Makaton’. This combined approach with carers and staff will enable the production of a rich, meaningful and individual plan for each tenant.
