Focus Care Supported Living

All of our facilities are bespoke. 

​

The service structure for each Supported Living, Home with Care (HwC) or bespoke service  is assessed to suite the specific needs of each service user. In houses providing services for multiple occupants, a team leader will manage the service, supported by regional clinically qualified nurse managers. Staffing levels within each service are assessed in conjunction with service user needs and packages of care agreed. The skill mix is determined by the level and need of each service user i.e. 1:1 care; specialist behavioural nurse or OT provision; psychotherapy etc.

​

Twenty four hour on call service for service users, staff and relatives.

​

Promoting community access and participation through person-centred care planning that focuses on daily living activities, leisure, holiday planning, education and work re-enablement and promoting independence.
