How can we help you as the carer?

• We can offer you a break from caring; giving you the opportunity to take time for yourself.
• We can offer you the opportunity to go on holiday / receive regular breaks, with the piece of mind that the individual you carer for will be well supported.
• We will work with you and the individual being supported to provide a flexible and personalised service; which will be tailored to their needs and respect your knowledge and expertise.

How can we support the young adult?

We will provide an individually tailored support plan, which we will review with you and your carer regularly.

We will support you to develop/learn new skills/continue with the activities that you like to do whilst at home.

Support you to take up new activities (if you wish)
