Introduction

Supported living is the provision of support to people living in their own homes within the community to enable them to live as independently as possible and to maintain their tenancies. At Selborne Care we work hard to promote independence so that support can gradually reduce as the service users become more capable of managing on their own. Selborne Care respects the fact that each person is an individual and will assist in the preparation of a Person Centred Plan and thereafter in providing support, will monitor the outcomes achieved from the plan. Service users who need personal care can also be accommodated within Selborne Care’s supported living service using our Domiciliary Care Service. Packages of care can be funded by a variety of means such as Social Services, Health or Direct Payments / Individual Budgets.
