Support
What support do you provide?
Our staff work with customers to develop a personalised support plan using the Home Star model, focusing on achieving and maintaining a stable home.
Our highly-trained staff provide mental health support five days a week, during office hours. We provide weekly contact, but this can vary to suit customers’ needs.
We also provide follow-on support when clients move on from Roebuck Close, our supported housing service in Blackburn.
Clients can also purchase additional telecare technology for extra safety and reassurance, and to further promote their independence.
