Personal Outcomes

​

For a large majority of our clients we provide a total package of supported living. The add onto the support plan in this case is about life skills, enabling people to contribute to living in their own home and increase skills to become as independent as their disability allows.

 

The assessment concentrates on home and social skills and this information forms the starting point of the “personal outcomes support plan” enabling people to develop skills at their own pace and ability, all the time with small steps or large ones moving up to be more able and increase not only their ability but also their self-esteem.

The skills development plan will assess levels of independence to aspire to using the key Full - 50-50 -Minimal - Verbal - Independent so everyone has the opportunity to move forward.  Each skills development stage will look at the risks and how to minimise them whilst still enabling independence.  Some form part of our “Good Practice Guidelines” and others will be bespoke to the individual.

All plans are recorded individually to form a clear picture of how the support enabled the personal outcome to happen.

This information is in the house and available for the client to access.

Reviewing of the Service

​

At least annually we ensure that the service delivery assessment plan is reviewed, we like to carry this out in-line with the care plan review to ensure that all information is updated at the same time.  As part of the 6 weekly Service Manager meetings and the quarterly meetings completed by the responsible individual we review the service provision and document this in the clients file so that this can be implemented with immediate effect.  All clients are supported where required to have support to attend the meetings and invite families/representatives to attend and provide support.
