What is a supported tenancy for adults with learning difficulties?
A supported tenancy arrangement involves providing individuals with learning difficulties the opportunity to live independently in their own homes with all the appropriate support they need on hand – such as assistance with daily living activities and community integration.
How does a supported tenancy differ from traditional residential care?
Supported tenancy promotes independence by allowing individuals to live on their own, with their own front door, rather than within a group communal residential setting. We provide ongoing practical support as required, based on each individual’s needs, making sure that everyone feels independent, at the same time wholly included, in their local community.
What other types of support do you provide as part of a supported tenancy?
We can extend the type of assistance we offer to our tenancy clients to providing advice and guidance on general life skills including budgeting, how to make the most of community resources, managing household tasks and developing social skills. The aim is to help our clients to lead the best possible lives they can, contributing to their community and leading rich, connected, fulfilling lives.
How are support staff matched to individuals in supported tenancies?
Our support staff are carefully matched to our clients based on their individual needs, preferences, personality and other compatibility factors. This ensures a positive and trusting relationship, fostering a supportive environment for the well-being.
How can individuals apply for a supported tenancy?
If you are interested in finding out more about living in one of our properties – either for yourself of on behalf of someone else – on a supported tenancy basis, please get in touch with a member of our care services team. [Insert contact details] We would be happy to guide you through the application process, set up a needs assessment meeting and discuss the most suitable housing options we currently have available.
Can people choose the location for their supported tenancy?
Yes, as far as we can, we will always offer our clients a choice of places to live. Our team will work to find suitable housing options in the preferred location, taking into consideration factors such as accessibility and community support resources.
What types of community activities are facilitated for individuals in supported tenancies?
Supported tenancies encourage community integration. Our team helps clients to take part in as many local group activities as possible, such as coffee mornings, gardening clubs, art workshops, and a range of social events and other recreational activities.
How is privacy and independence respected in supported tenancies?
Privacy and independence are key priorities in supported tenancies. Help is available at all times, but provided in such a way that respects individual preferences and respects autonomy. Staff members are trained to maintain a balance between providing compassionate support and respecting personal space and boundaries.
