What We Do ...
Assessment
Once an individual moves in to the accommodation offered there will be a 12 week assessment period. This will establish what level of support is required by the individual and what support is needed by outside agencies. At this point support plans will be completed by a Key Worker / Link Worker and the individual. These plans are a method of ensuring the individual receives the correct level of support and that all staff are consistent in their approach and support to the individual.
