Our Services

Overview:

Referrals

Our services provide accommodation and support for adults between the ages of 18-65 who are considered to be vulnerable due to an established history of mental ill-health and where there is an identified need for the support service.
Referrals are appraised individually in accordance with our risk management procedures. Crucially, placements are offered to individuals who are willing to engage in support planning and local services in a meaningful way and who demonstrate the potential to benefit from the service.
In offering a placement we must ensure the individual’s safety, personal, social and support needs may be met whilst enabling them to be as independent as possible.
