Supported Living

Service Design

Self Directed Support means what it says, that support is directed by the person or by a good understanding of who they are and the life they need to live. But, change is part of life and over time, a person's needs, desires and aspirations may change and their support will need to change with them.

Everyone has an Individual Service Fund. Using this they can recruit their own dedicated team. This team may also need to change over time, so that it is the best arrangement for the person wherever they are in life's journey.

Some people had higher levels of support in the beginning and these arrangements have reduced as the person has become more confident and connected with their local community.

We use Person Centred Planning to ensure that the support that we are providing is the support that the person wants.

Every year the person and their team members use a Budgeter to plan how they will spend their Individual Service Fund (ISF) in the year ahead. The person we work for and the team get quarterly reports telling them how much they have spent of their ISF.
