At CareKind, support is a key element of our focus and our purpose as an organisation. We understand that every individual has specific support needs, and we work with each individual to identify what these needs are and how we can help. Every person who needs support from us will get a dedicated support worker who they meet with regularly. Together they will develop a support agreement that is tailored to the individual’s specific needs. The support agreement will set out positive goals, and the progress of meeting these goals will be assessed at each meeting. The support plans encourage and enable positive outcomes, whether that outcome by finding a job, living independently or developing healthier coping mechanisms to negative life events.
To be eligible for this support plan, you do not need to be living in our accommodation.
We provide the following types of support:
- Advice and support on how to manage and maintain a tenancy
- Advice and support on living independently
- Budgeting and managing finances
- Gaining access to specialist equipment and adaptations to homes
- Accessing health services and community facilities
- Finding employment, education, training and hobbies
- Emotional support and supporting people to gain confidence
We use specialist knowledge to identify a plan that works best for our customers. We are a people-focused organisation, and we understand that each individual has specific needs and goals, and we want to work with the individual to help them meet their goals, overcome their barriers and live a more fulfilling and independent life. We have fully trained staff who are experienced working with a wide range of issues, who can provide achievable, realistic goals and work with the individual to meet those goals.
